But I did follow him to the next tube when we changed at Finsbury Park and then sat next to him and kept looking at him so that he felt harrassed. He was a rude man.

that her family had kindly helped her onto the tube with. So I stood up to give her my seat, which was right next to the luggage bit and that's where he was standing.
He said, 'Can't you just wait?' I replied, 'Oh full of Christmas aren't you, you festive prick,' and was forced to elbow him roughly to move him out of the way so I could put her bag there Spineless twat.

and he had a plump German sausage hanging out of the front of his pants and he would look all embarrassed and you could raise one eyebrow at him and he would struggle to get his trousers back up, but the crotch would catch on the sausage and it would fall out and land on the floor of the tube just as the doors opened and someone would walk onto the train and stand on it and he would be all like "Ach Mein Gott! Du Hast Trodden ont mein Wurst!" and then he would run off all red faced and sweaty and the train would all cheer and then pick you up and carry you through the town and there would be ticker tape and all teh young men of the village would be lining up to perform the ceremonial jizzing on your awesome norks.

Actually, it's probably him doing the small spend first to see if your card works, and then he would run up a fucking massive bill.

I totally wouldn't have noticed if they hadn't called me. it's kind of a spare card that I hadn't got round to cancelling.

from an account I'd never used (it came with my mortgage). I'd cut the debit card up the day it came and never used the account once so no-one could have skimmed it or got the details from an online transaction.
IT WAS A FACKIN FIT-UP MATE.

nice of them to phone after only £25 has been used

I'm told the way these frauds are done has changed over time - they tend to go for a small amount (like your £25) from a large number of people, as many wouldn't notice it gone.
Kind of like an Albanian 'Brewster's Millions'...

which I seem to recall is something that flags it up, particularly if nothing like that has been on the card before

they are often franchised, so there is no corporate secruity, there are cameras everywhere, to pick up your pin and the high counters make ity easy to skim your card.
Always pay for fuel with cash I was told, that was the first time I had £1500 quid nicked...

it's totally impractical and I earn loads of bonus clubcard points from using my credit card to buy all my fuel.

so don't want to be using cash and having to wait for expenses.
HSBC picked up two tiny fraudulent uses after one day, and have already blocked, then cancelled my card. That's good enough protection for me.

I got it back, but that's not the point.
