So many Threads on EDF seem to Morph into something which bears no realation to the original subject matter..


A bit like an old World War 2 'True Story'


The head of a line of marching troops hear a message from The Front... 'The Rations Have Been Increased'


This is passed down the line. By the time it has reached the end of the line... 'The Russians Are In Greece'


Perhaps we are all a bit guilty of this..:-$

I guess there are at least ways in which a thread can metmorphose:


- in Chinese whispers style, as per your example. This probably happens if you just read the last one or two posts beore writing your own;


- or in the same way a conversation/debate may flow from an one topic to another

    • Just astonishing - how do they do it? Well done for being so on the ball. 
    • Shocking - so fast. Machines can have a false device for inserting your card into and then they retain it. Your bank should return your money 
    • FYI East Dulwich neighbours: I was in the middle of a cash withdrawl at the cashpoint at the Tesco Express on ED road (the one next to the Esso petrol station) when a man appeared beside me waving his hands over the screen and saying not to use it because it had just taken his card. He then dissapeared and I cancelled the withdrawl. No card was returned. It took me literally 30 seconds (max) to realise something wasn't right and 'freeze' the card on my mobile/banking app. I immediately got a txt message from my bank saying a transaction had just been declined, and then another. I logged in to app and £251 had already been taken. This all happened increadibly quickly - the whole incident from first encounter to money being taken and me freezing card was probably around 3 minutes. The guy must have somehow seen me put my PIN number in. It's possible there was some kind of card skmming involved, but I don't know for sure. The man was around 5ft 6/7, black and wearing a covid-type face mask. I don't remember what clothes he was wearing. I got the feeling (mainly from his voice and eyes) that he wasn't young - maybe mid-30s to mid-40s (but I can't be sure). Obviously I repoted to police. 
    • It would be incredible if the community supported small businesses rather than a chain (Gail's being a very large chain).   Sadly, consumers don't realise their power - as you can see also by the number of coffee cups etc that are still being bought and contribute to landfill - it' not hard to be responsible, just inconvenient.
