Wasn't Uber but they did use an app called "Cabapp". I've reported it to the bank so will see what happens. Not sure where it lies as ultimately it's my own fault for not checking.

Sky too dark. Screen too bright. Cold.
If a bartender said "Sorry that was a tenner not a twenty" and you gave them another ten pound note, and they pocketed it... That's not your fault, they're a thief!
That's not true at all man

Now nap trapped in the car by my daughter this time. Decided to take her to soft play this morning, but she fell asleep in the car on the way there. 
Parked up with a nice view of the river at least, but should have brought a cup of tea or something.

I worked an bank data science system to detect repeat fraud just like this. The idea is it sees the duplicate and alerts you to contact customer services (it also highlighted it on the customer care for your account).
Used to process 180GB/day in transactions in real time

Yeah, hopefully it works. Worst case i just use the viewpoint that i spent £58 on a night out with meal and 7hours of drinking so it's not too expensive. No point dwelling on it.
In good news, i've had confirmation from work that i can go to Spain for 3 months to work in advance of a permanent move over there. Looking at sometime in March. Can't wait

The pointless having store open for an hour later week is here. Nobody comes in during the last hour. Why can’t head office look at the hourly sale figures per store and implement? Stop putting a blanket ‘stay open an hour longer’ treatment!
Will be bored as not allowed to leave kiosk for security reasons.
Head office aren’t realising that they are stretching the staff unnecessarily. If stayed open normal hours, there would be more staff in per hour

I remember my store used to do that. It was dead. We ended up T-Cutting the shelves.

Printed off last receipt at kiosk. Transaction done at 19:52!
Got the weekly scratchcard audit/count later. Slowly checking the overs of tobacco to see if can put them on shelves (behind doors).
My time is being wasted asking to stay an hour later as could do with my services when it’s busy.
Top tip - avoid 10am-2pm next few days. Customers still shop these times during the 20s pre Xmas. Yet don’t understand that they need to change their shopping habits around Christmas!
Hopefully this will be my final Christmas in face to face retail. My store is open til 8pm on Tuesday and working that til end plus Boxing Day.
On the subject of Boxing Day, on my 3-4 that I worked, get customers saying that it’s a disgrace that we are open today. Erm, what are you doing in here then? Stay away from shops!

Speaking of 10-2pm being busy...I had to go to the Dentist today with an emergency appointment and they asked me "you can have 12:45 or 3:30"....I thought, 12:45 please and avoid the school rush hour.
It was as bad as going at 5pm! The roads were packed.

When did BA starting doing a 2 tier economy for long haul (not sure about short...been a few years!)
It's always been 1 kind of economy and you get a checked bag with 23kg limit. Now there is a basic version with no checked bag? That's new.

Schools here finished for Christmas on Friday. A week plus being bored. Though it’s better for GCSE students as got time to do coursework before Christmas.

Why would anyone pay £150 for checked luggage when the middle option is £80 more??When did BA starting doing a 2 tier economy for long haul (not sure about short...been a few years!)

Exactly...

You wouldn't, but if you find yourself needing to change your plans (in terms of luggage) then you are stuck as the ticket is non-refundable.
I have liked BA less and less in the past few years. The most spectacular one was during my UK -> Japan -> Korea -> back to UK trip. On the last day coming back I got to Seoul airport and tried to check in my bag, the lady said "you don't have any checked bag allowance.
I asked "that can't be right, I had checked in this bag to Japan and again Japan to Korea." It's the same ticket...it turns out that I had 2 bags allownace on the way out, 1 bag in the middle flight and Zero on the return leg.
I was soooo baffled, part angry but that was what their system said at the check in bag counter. It was then £90 or something to add a bag or £150 to upgrade to Pre Eco which gets me that bag allowance.
I upgraded in the end but i still could not understand how a ticket can give you different bag allowance, along the trip, going down too.

Airlines are going to become the new Twitter. They have us by the balls and competition is uber low once you have a decent route with decent landing slots at the right airport.
