BLUEMOMENT

Round Mull Race on Saturday night, I used the Bunessan phone box to phone home to my nearest and dearest 'cos Richard Branson's mobile telephonic network doesn't reach the arse-side of Mull. Box said minimum charge 60p - a rip-off I thought but she is definitely worth that - so I followed the instructions - the box spat out the coins. I then stuck in my credit card and tried again, spoke to a non-english speaking operator who wanted all the card details and eventually had my chat.

My card has been charged £6 !!!!!

Would have been cheaper to reverse the charges. Can you still do that?

Indubitably you are correct and had I but known ...... but that is why I am warning yousyins. Absolutely no warning in a dilapidated, no door, sheep faeces strewn BT style box and instrument. Bit more - one of my crew also made a call, it rang and didn't get an answer - that is on her statement also at £6. Thieving scrotes!

So - noo we hae ra truth.
Marisca slips aff tae the dark side O'Mull wi anither wumman.
The pair 'o them check if ra coast is clear back hame because there's nae doot a wee bittie guilt in the air.
BT dinnae like these kind o' carry ons
£12 is ra bill fer yer shenanikins

QED

I'm sorry to disabuse you but it wasnae just 1 ither wumman, t'was 3 o' them, and lovely and charming they were too.. And it wasnae BT, it was some mob called "BBG London GB" who, if you google them, seem to have upset a lot of people with their charging.

Jings - 3 wimmin - all I ever get is Para, Muzzy an wee Jamesie....an they are far fae atractive - e'en wi the licht oot

I can affirm that indeed Marisca entertained THREE wummin in the wilds of Mull. I even have photographic evidence!
In fact some of the moves pictured, though claimed to be crew instruction for sailing a yacht race look much more like a Strathspey, or perhaps it was a St Bernards Waltz.

But he did have assistance in this arduous task, in one other male member of the crew. (have to admire them, as the combined age of the 2 males was probably 1.5 x the sum of the ages of all the females!)

Ignoring the diversions - the costs of the calls have now appeared on the statements. A mere £3.50 each has been debited/charged. Question is - can I be ersed to chase this?

I will gladly reimburse you the 3.5 squids should ever we meet. I am in awe of your tenaciousness
