DVLA

If you are the victim of crime in the UK you can anticipate a double whammy. As you reel from the shock and trauma of being robbed you will feel the full force of the UK government taking another swipe.

Identity Theft

It's hard to believe anyone would want to be me but this morning a report on BBC News adds another worry to my burden. Apparently identity theft is the increasing rapidly.

First impressions

As the Barclays complaint had failed to be resolved via the Barclays' Internal Dispute Resolution Procedure I was faced with a decision, give up and admit Barclays had beaten us or look elsewhere for an answer. A financial journalist, Mr S advised me to submit a formal complaint through the Pensions Ombudsman.

Shocking Events

Having written about my architect's inappropriate use of the word shock I'm now suffering from it!On Thursday I had another U3A lunch outing. This time at The Moorings, Outwell. It was a lovely relaxed event and I met two new and interesting people. Returned home feeling blessed for the life I have, for the security of friends and family, the excitement of my future plans and my imminent Greek idyll. My first holiday as a widow.

Mind your language

This morning there was a discussion about the use of language, leading from an article published this morning by Vince Cable. In Cable’s article he is drawing attention to the failure of debate in modern

society.

Octavia Hill

Yesterday I launched myself into Wisbech society with a visit to Octavia Hill’s birthplace.
Interesting experience.

Time to Give Up?

Woke up listening to Matt Ineson who had been abused by clergy and his struggle to get any admission from the bishops involved reminded me of the experience with Barclays, especially so as the clergy defence was "we never received your letter".
