Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven


Morning, peeing down with rain all morning here. All my spare time at the moment is being taken up with “ email wars” as I try to get a number of issues resolved, grrrr.

I have been fortunate in being in a position of helping my three kids get on the property ladder, better to help them when they‘re young and need it than leave money in my Will etc. Two down , and I’ve currently gifted money to my youngest for his house deposit. Simple you’d think . Except AntI Money Laundering laws now apply , and for the past two weeks I’ve been sending screenshots of savings accounts going back to 2019 trying to prove the money was mine and not ill gotten gains . Crazy stuff, and AML laws are something to watch out for if you’re ever in that position.

Meanwhile , I have been battling with KLM to get back legitimate expenses, hotels meals etc, incurred with cancellation of our flights in the recent Air Traffic thingy. Emails back and forth , them claiming they hadnt received them , resend, then they couldn’t view the receipts, 2 resends, then they could view them but send further receipts. Twice I’ve replied there are no further receipts , but still they continue with “ all is fine thank you, send more” . They are obviously taking the pee and deliberately blocking paying , despite it being a legal requirement and me providing receipts etc. So I’ve had to up the stakes this morning indicating I will be writing to four KLM directors, UK customer services, industry organisations that resolve disputes etc and a final threat ultimately of court action. This may seem like an excessive response but the whole trail of their emails over the past two weeks is quite shocking and looks like it’s designed to wear you down and hope you go away . It is wearying but I’m not giving up on this!
 
@Barnfred 55 all about opinions mate.

I never rated Big Dunc particularly highly but some think he's our best CF since Dixie.

I loved Peter Reid, others think he was too slow and immobile for central midfield

Mind you the one we can all agree upon is Alan Ball , the little fella ( yes he was even smaller than me ) was a genius.
I thought he was crap.






Just kidding. :)
 

Hi folks. Greetings from Manchester Airport. Obligatory photo below. Earlier today we were refused entry to security. Not because we were deemed to be international terrorists but because we were too early! It was ridiculous. We tried to ho through at 11 am. No queue, not many people about. The scanner wouldn't let us through and we were told we were too early and to come back at 11.43 ( very specific). When we went back the security area was heaving, there was a queue out of the door up the stairs and they were actively stopping people from scanning their boarding cards because it was so full. How is that logical?
