same old charlton taking the piss
I don't know if you remember but my last trip back to London coincided with Charlton announcing the introduction into the club shop of the new kit. Great I thought, so I whizzed down there and sure enough, they lied and put back the availability date to after I was due to return to Chicago.
So, like the dutiful fan I am I got onto the website and ordered two online, one for me and one for my son, whose has to come here first as they can only send it out to the address on my credit card, which of course is not the home of my ex-wife (one can't go through their whole life being that stupid can they?)
Well, that was in early August and today is September 14th. Have they arrived? No, of course not. Have they charged my credit card to the tune of $130.54? What you think?
This then reminded me that during the summer I emailed the club asking to join the International Membership Plan. Ian Cartwright promptly wrote back saying that they were "still waiting on a new batch of forms but let us have your credit card number and we can sort it all out by email." And.... nothing of course.
I need to check my credit card statement quick because I reckon I'm actually paying Kevin Lisbie's wages! ¶ 18:58
