Stephen & Elisabeth in England

Unbeleivable
Mood:  incredulous
Topic: Stephen Says
I got into an argument with the woman at Barclays Bank this morning because I didn't bring 'additional' identification when I paid my Visa. She demanded to see at least 1 other piece of photo ID (which I didn't have) and I was told that I wouldn't be able to put the money on my Visa. I told her that I refused to leave because it wasn't like I was TAKING money off my Visa so she had to talk to the manager who in turn made me answer a barrage of questions to verify who I was. When I told them that I've never had this problem in the past, I was told that it was "standard" when you pay more than 300 pounds onto your Visa account.

Man, I wish that I had asked them what they would have done if I'd have paid 200 pounds in today and then come back tomorrow and paid the other 125.

Name: Sean

I have the same problem with bell and the internet.

One of our roomate left, he cancelled the internet in his name.
I called the internet company and they wont let me get internet unless the phone is in my name. the phone bill is in the name of a guy who has not lived there in 3 years.
So I called up bell and asked if the bell bill can be changed to my name, they said I need permission of the person responsable. I cant pay for the phone bill for the apartment I live in!!! I felt like saying that I will stop paying the bill and then they can track down the guy. We are trying to fake to be him so that we can sneak and pay the bill. Probably just another "standard" way of doing things.
Crazy!!!

Name: Stephen

I don't have much to say about that except 'kill the guy.' Last night I got a tele-surveyer calling to ask me about my opinion on the last time I went to the bank and I gave'r.

Elisabeth was all like 'no one will ever believe that.' but BELEIVE THAT, MON. This is a weird, weird, world!
