"I knew they had obviously made a mistake - but I ran to the cashpoint as I want to see if I was one of the richest people in the country, sadly I wasn't"

"I am a bit disappointed I am not going to get my £84m overdraft."

No wonder people are in debt if they think an overdraft is free money and means they are rich.

What a ****.

Hmm 84M overdraft limit does not make you rich. It's approved liability rather than assets!

However it doesn't excuse my lack of being able to read - sorry Col

Nice way to talk about a young lady.

Or maybe you were referring to the banks humourless reaction?

It would me.

10000 cash points and a 1 way ticket to a non extradition country.

No, I was referring to her. She's a **** for thinking £84m overdraft = *chaching*.

Only £84 million, bet it won’t cover our next gas bill. :eek:

Just checked my balance, no increase

Well she'd still have access to £84M to spend wouldn't she? And it would cost her just £5 per month, not a bad interest rate eh?

Exactly, it is free money, with that much moola I would be out of the UK.

Where is the bestplace to go these days? Good weather and no expidition treatys are preferable.

Slightly related topic, did anyone see that thing BBC3 last night titled How to Rob a Bank?

Personally I'd prefer non extradition.

Wow, i wish something like that would happen to me. I'd be at the atm before they had a chance to blink and outta the country before they blinked twice !

Schnippzle · 9 Dec 2008 at 15:48

I think I would have had to transfer it out of that account at uber speeds and then invest as much as possible in almost anything. Hopefully the money I would make off the investments would easily pay off the interest on the overdraft

......maybe.

Sheesh, people need to lighten up. It was obviously a simple, light-hearted comment to get herself in the media for 15 minutes - give them what they want etc.

£5pcm? Try £2,520,000pcm in interest alone. And the universe would collapse if she went over her limit.

Additionally anything over 10 grand gets flagged, in addition that would be flagged as it's unusual your account
