darklord Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Of course it's mom - there is no "u" mother, so why would there be in mum/mom?!?! The O in mother sounds like the U in mum because of the th following it. You say mother to rhyme with brother not bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darklord Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 No there isn't. Though my use of bother was just too give an example of correct usage. Unfortunately English is a complicated language with as many exceptions as there are rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Burntwood Owl Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Some companies do ask for card details as they aren't allowed to collect cash door to door. Everything is on direct debit. Best thing to do is get company details and then ring the company to confirm if you want to contribute. Cancer research in town this week said exactly the same, I tried to shove a tenner at the woman and she told me she wasn't allowed to take cash only via the bank. They were legit too, I was that taken aback by it I asked to see their id and they had all sorts of paperwork on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direct debit also means regular deposits not a one off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same for Notts Air Ambulance too, offered them cash but it was refused saying they could only take cards... I declined as you never know what scam could be going on even though it looked very official... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I declined too, I like being able to give whatever I want, whenever I want to who I want, when I want. Plus it's a bit dodgy for me, I am with a bank that doesn't print bank account number on the card for security reasons so I would have to carry the entire info on me, with my card, and 3 digit pin thing on the card. Not going to happen. Oh and it's mam to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
