Something and Nothing

This isn’t really about anything much, it’s just something insignificant that just happened.

I always keep a used envelope on the the table for scribbling down bits and pieces on. Reminders, or phone numbers, that sort of thing. An envelope can be there for weeks before all the space on it gets filled up, and I often forget what the writing on it refers to. Anyway, I was just sitting at the table doing nothing in particular, when my gaze fell on the envelope and I read, “Virgin fraud team”. Well I know for a fact that no one has falsely claimed to be a virgin to me since I started writing on that envelope, and even if they had, I’m pretty sure there isn’t a department anywhere that deals with that sort of thing. Then, of course, I remembered. I had an issue with my credit card two or three weeks ago, but it did have me puzzled for a moment.

Branson once offered to introduce me to his 'mates' I declined obviously.

I still get the occasional correspondence through the post.

Actually, I don't love Richard Branson. Virgin Money have taken over my bank, and I don't like it.

“Virgin fraud team”

Sounds like something illegal here US. What punishment do they hand out to the ones who lie about it? That phrase is wrong on so many levels. LMAO

Opposite for me - I had a Virgin Money credit card, the bastards sold out to Westpac one of the big four banks.
