I think this is amazing (please forgive me - I'm kinda excited). Some of you will remember that at the Kettering GTG earlier in the year Goldfish11 used my car to demonstrate his PC polisher.
I like a number of you were kinda smitten but I'd not done anything about it until now. I've been waiting for the dollar/pound rate to be more favorable and due to the potential change in the Whitehouse I decided to act. I've spoken with Goldfish11 and done some research on Autopia.org and decided what PC package to go for.
So I ordered it today. However due to me getting my details slightly wrong on the Autopia site it rejected my VISA details. Trying a different credit card I realised that the websites' input fields didn't quite match the details on my cards. Altering my input to match my 'billing' details the order was placed on my second card.
So I'm placing the order from grey Norfolk onto an American website - the whole process took about five minutes. Literally one minute after I'd place the order on my second card my phone rings. Pregnant pause (aha I know what's going on) Indian lady introduces herself from the HSBC anti fraud centre (in India). She wants to check that the transaction that I had tried to complete was in fact genuine.
I'm gobsmacked!! Ordering a polisher for my Merc, causes transactions & interactions in three continents.
Small world ain't it. Sorry.
