Good deed for the day

Cutting your credit card in two - great fun.

Cutting a complete stranger's in two - priceless.

Actually, wrong credit card slogan, it was a Lloyds TSB Platinum Visa that winked up at me like a rectangular grey gold coin from a medieval Cotswold stone paving slab in Woodstock. That's a town without any Lloyds branches. So I phoned the number for lost cards on the back and they told me to destroy it.

Always happy to oblige ... though as a special treat, I gave it to the Boy to do. Under strict supervision, of course.
