Is there anyone there?

In the words of the previous government:

There is no money left. ;-)

This. There is now only credit, ie negative money. So you need to switch to uk.-finance.

Alternatively, try eu.bailout, us.extra-marital-affair.distraction.con, imagine.there's.no.money.lennon, or beans&bullets.preppers.fingers-crossed.

To be honest after five years of watching this fiscal and monetary illusion being perpetuated I go out of my way to avoid all things financial most of the time. I used to be disillusioned, but then the BoE printed enough illusion to bale me out and turn me back into a good little prole.

Or should that be pleb these days?

PS On Watt's insurance payment question you'd expect a bank/credit card to have some kind of buffering in place, but these days credit card payments seem to get rejected at the drop of a hat, so it doesn't really surprise me if a transaction at an unusual time of day (for your charge history) was flagged.

I'm guessing that if it had been a DD form a normal bank account the procedures would have been more resilient, dealing with the downtime more elegantly. Either way it just seems like "one of those things" to me.
