Money and Overdrafts 5th June 2002 in Calgary, Canada


I"m steadly invoicing everyone that owes me money and trying to get all the money out of all of my 6 bank accounts into one at the moment. I had one account in the UK that looked as though it had about (one moment while I break out charmap) £200. I forgot to look a few pixels over at the "D". I called up HSBC wondering why I couldn"t get my money out. "Awe Be-Jesus Love, looks like your accounts gone to peet and your in a bit of Barney. You"ll need an overdraft to get this sort-ted". She then trasferred me to a Scot-tish college who gave me £2000 in free money, I mean in an overdraft. I asked when payments were due on this overdraft and she said no payments are due until you go over the overdraft limit. She also mentioned "If it"s not a Scot-tish overdraft, It"s CLRAAAAP". While the Scotish college was working the free money machine she was telling me how she used to work at BT, the heart burn and terror in my eyes couldn"t of come any quicker, reliving the devil of British Telecom.
