I left fifty quid in a cash machine once. Usual story, distracted by two kids. I was gutted as I was particulary strapped at the time.

The money had been handed into the bank.

I've had money NOT come OUT of a cash machine before - 1000 dirhams. Said it came out but it didn't from a machine in Dubai mall. I reported it immediately, filled in a form at the bank and yet four months of chasing with ACDC got me absolutely nowhere. Bastards.

My husband also lost the car in Dubai mall parking. Took us ages to find it.

Great post, starts with scheming devious ****** scroats from kerala and ends with pre menopausal women going through the forgetful stage. Next, the night sweats and paranoia. Enjoy the ****wit stage, this is the happy bit

Cameraphones are great for taking a quick snap of where you've parked,
So is leaving a nice note on windscreens "since the guy parked opposite saw me most accidentally hit your car, and is still watching me, I duly apologise for just leaving this note"

I prefer this one.

"I just reversed into your car.
Quite a few people saw me do it.
They think I'm leaving my name and details.
Well tough shit, because I'm not."

Lullabelle;

ive had this- with HSBC- took 5 months but got the money back - was 3000 aed- be patient! and fingers crossed!
