My debit card has become cracked, and I phoned HSBC for a replacement. I was amazed -- I was sure they'd manage to introduce administrative faff somehow or other, probably by cancelling the old one immediately, but no, they took care of it immediately.

Though I suppose they won't be putting "I called with an extremely simple request and you said you weren't going to fuck it up" on their testimonials pages.

FTR, I would, though I *might* have said "become cracked" for some reason or other.

But Rob, it was a perfectly reasonable reading, don't worry. If you know what the alternatives are, you could tell which, but of course you get stuck with the meaning you expected.

OK, I don't actually know you so I shouldn't comment, but I love the way you always try and make everyone feel good and right in your replies to their comments. That is very sweet.

Aw, thank you. I feel like I know *you* -- maybe your username is just very evocative :)

Of course I do -- I don't like feeling wrong or stupid, so I don't suppose anyone else does either. I would have said everyone else does the same, I'm just worse at it so its more obvious and patronising :)

OK, that's not quite fair -- sometimes it is, but I always try to be both positive and fair. But even assuming you have the right to evaluate what someone else said is a bit patronising.

I'm glad it is appreciated :)
