bluemonday Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 It would seem that there are allegedly currently 'issues' concerning payments through BACS by at least one department. A glitch in the system possibly affecting thousands of transactions, allegedly. No official comment as yet. If you or someone you know could possibly be affected, act accordingly. However in the tradition of MF, I'm sure far more entertainng explanations could be invented. Feel free to speculate, however bizzare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemonday Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Possibly checking any bank accounts liable to be affected, that sort of thing to preclude giving the banks a chance to apply charges. However pitchforks and flaming torches are always popular. Possibly a lynching, general looting and an outbreak of Luddite riots as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemonday Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Perhaps you should consult Health and Safety on that. Unless of course you been on the 'Wielding burning crosses 101' ( advanced ) course and have the current H&S certificate to produce if required.

inspector Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 My BACS payment came in today! What problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Seriously though, what does happen when there is no more money left? The sums simply don't add up. What is it we produce again? What happens when we get found out? A nation of 80,000 people and that army of Civil Servants being paid and pensioned in excess of a £1000+++ a week....

bluemonday Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Good questions nipper My BACS payment came in today!What problem? Excellent news. Obviously there's currently some sort of mass halucination going on. People must be imagining that they're being told there's a 'glitch.' Government employees must be imagining receiving phone calls from imaginary people. They must also be imagining that they're telling said imaginary people who phone up that there's a 'glitch.' MHKs and various ministers must be imagining that people are contacting them about the 'glitch' Glad that's all been cleared up. It's all a phantasm.

Government worker worried for half an hour whether salary gets paid today.
