Since when did banks put your first name on your card! They've put it on mine and spelt it wrong, so now I have to spell my name wrong when I'm ordering stuff

What's made you grumpy today?

That annoys me. I've got and unusual sir name and EVERYBODY spells it wrong even when I spell it out! :bang:
I just don't understand when they had my passport and birth certificate when my parents set the account up years ago!
I'd say my surname is harder than my first name, but they got that bit right

Why, it never gets checked with the bank when ordering stuff anyway. Only your card number, expiry date and CV2 code.
You could put your name as David Jones and your card would still get accepted

My bank cards has always had both first an last name and middle initials on them, for as long as I can remember
I did once have an online purchase rejected because I didn't put "Mr" in front of my name as its written on my card, so they must has somewhy of checking those details
Was it left blank when it failed or as Mrs or something instead out of interest?
Never had any issues myself, and of the half dozen or so card payments I process at work daily, never had an issue with an incorrect name or address to date

I spelt it right on the billing/shipping info, then wrong on the card info (how it's spelt on my card) and it rejected, changed it to the wrong spelling on billing/shipping and it accepted

Alfa GTV Winter runner was a tad optimistic. Yesterday the battery was flat due to the cold. Under normal circumstances you pour hot water over it, the heat catalyses the acid reaction and you start the car. With the GTV the battery is in the boot under the drivers side of the rear screen with the spare in the way.
Took dads Skoda instead.
Today. The central locking fuse went and I had to defrost the doors before they could be opened. An overnight charge was enough for the car to start first turn of the key, but the rear heater and interior fan fuses all went at the same time. So driving with my windows opened to keep my windscreen clear.
:bang:

There was no separate box it just said (on this occasion) name as it appears on the card, I didn't put the 'Mr' In and it came back incorrect details, put the Mr in and it worked.
However this has only ever happened once and never had any issues doing exactly the same thing other places

I'm pretty certain if you look in the relevant sections of the manual they are all standard features of Alfa Romeo

To operate Central locking turn key in door lock, the fuse will blow, replace central door locking fuse.

Replace central locking fuse and reset the fault code on the ecu as the reader no longer senses the chip in the key. :bang:
Parking charge notice, for parking where I didn't even know restrictions applied, so thats another to have to resolve, and Clutch has gone on the Stilo :bang:
Is that another job for you to do?
Nope, no time and she was wanting rid to get another car as well, so in the classifieds as a repair car
If it doesn't sell there or on eBay I scrap her, sell in bits and use the LPG 1.4 16v lump for a Panda conversion ?
Uh-oh
Helping a friend fit a new kitchen sink. Dropped it. It's now in more pieces than it should be. I'm never buying a ceramic sink.
Aaannnndddd of course B&Q no longer stock it. Pity, as they were the cheapest retailer at £187. Only ones I've found online are pushing £300!!!
