Okay, how long have you had this saddle polish sniffing "problem"?

Where's the problem?

I once saw a T-shirt that said:

"I don't have a drinking problem: I go out get drunk, fall over and get carried home. No Problem."

Hmmm. I seem to have eaten all the cup cakes. There is a dearth of cup cakes in The Manor, we are, as it were, bereft of the cake in a cup, where there were cup cakes, there is none. In short, not to put a to finer point on it and not to beat about the bush, the cup cakes are gone. Bugger all cup cakes. Not one. Zilch on the cup cake front.

Headwind all way home. :wacko: Max speed I was able to achieve on motorway was 60 mph.
That's when driving downhill.
The rest of it was between 40 mph and 50 mph.
It's like trying to run in the water, but with a car.

I tried to look at a bank statement online from early 2018 using one of these "Secure Key" things. It had always worked before but it seemed to be ill. After forty six minutes on the phone to somewhere to the East, I was told that I needed a new one and that I could get one from a local branch of the bank if I couldn't wait seven working days to be sent one. Fine. I hopped on the bike and picked one up and rang the bank when I got home to get it activated. After a further fifty minutes I was told that there was a problem...….their systems had been "upgraded" since I last used the old Secure Key and they had never asked me for an email address or phone number so it was impossible for them to send me an activation code except by post...….within seven working days. They told me they could send me paper copies of the missing bank statements within five days by post.

Isn't technology wonderful?

Can't they send the code to the branch where you collected it from?

I got sent something like that by RBS so I could access my credit card account. Only for them to change their systems shortly afterwards and I now get sent One Time Passcodes to my mobile instead. Complete waste of money and resources as I only used it once :cursing: :banghead:
