I think I'd look good in uniform and I fancy wearing make up again, I never wear any these days.

In fact, if your Capital One UK credit card is lost/stolen in the US, you have to call Capital One UK to report it, NOT Capital One US. If you call Capital One US, they will simply give you the number to call Capital One UK. I had this happen on a couple of occassions.
