I'm grumpy because I've just been to Waitrose with a gift card which had £25 on it only to find I've had it for over 2 years so it's been cancelled. My own silly fault, but grumpy nonetheless
If you believe the hype then you could keep it till after Brexit and then feel better because it won't buy a pint of naffall.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Quite right Bernard Cribbins & the hole in the ground- for anyone who does not remember it the punchline about the hole was: "Its not there now, the grounds all flat, and beneath it is the bloke in the bowler hat., and that's that!"
Hosta - if someone has paid £25 to give you a gift voucher then Waitrose should honour it. They've had the money so you should get the goods. Amazon do this too with gift vouchers for books - for some reason they cancel them after a fixed period. Something we learned the hard way when Possum was given book vouchers as a child. Made me very cross.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
I stopped buying gift vouchers, when the firm I bought them from went into liquidation two weeks later. Even though they were still trading, they wouldn't accept them.
TBH, it's written perfectly clearly on the card to which it was attached " valid for 24 months" hey ho. I have 3 others worth £35 in total which are valid until the end of next month so at least I know to use them .
I assume it's to do with the way business accounts work or maybe to protect themselves against losses through inflation. I think big companies show gift cards as debt on their accounts until they're used so they have to write them off eventually as bad debt or similar even though they technically already have the money. Accounting makes my head hurt.

No cheques for 20 years or so in Belgium but the French still use them. Good job I use a handbag and not just pockets.
