In my experience the problem isn't not being invited, but being turned away

at the door!


This Tuesday I turned up to find that the event had a £10 admission charge,

which hadn't been mentioned on the web site or in follow-up correspondence.

Unfortunately this omission meant that I didn't have the necessary cash on

me.


I was therefore relieved to see a sign that welcomed payment by Visa card.


Imagine my horror as the Visa debit card I eagerly offered was turned down

on the grounds that it wasn't a Visa Credit card.


By the time I found a cashpoint it was a quarter of an hour into the event

and I decided that I couldn't be arsed to return.


All the best,
