Because I have plenty of socks and jumpers and little use for them here in Turkey for most of the year I suggested to my wife to buy me a 12 month subscription to Motor Boat and Yachting when she told me our daughter was pestering her to buy my Christmas present mid December. My daughter was delighted with the idea especially as it allowed her to arrange for a personalised e mail to be sent to me on Christmas morning announcing my present. My wife duly went online placed the order and gave her credit card details etc and got an e mail confirmation. On Christmas morning nothing from MBY so I had to lie to my daughter and pretend I got the e mail with her personalised message which thankfully my wife had told me about.
We were busy since Christmas so my wife only got around to e mailing MBY this week and got a rather stupid message saying the "account is suspended as there are no payment details on your account". What happened to the details she entered up on their website? What indeed? She replied immediately but heard nothing since. They did invite her to call a number which I assume to be a UK local number and the fact they didn't include an international dialing prefix always says something to me about the professionalism of a company.
Rant over although I'm not sure what I'm going to say next month when my daughter asks me if the magazine came.
