The really big problem with a failing memory is password control. I spent 75 minutes on the phone to London with an unlucky bank clerk as I tried to explain how I had either misplaced or forgotten my on line banking password, my Barclaycard (cash Card) password for use at automatic teller machines, and one other password of which I do not remember its use.
The Barclays man was very patient with me. The big challenge will be in a week’s time when I receive 3 new passwords in the post and try to reconcile each to its account. I’ll probably have to phone Barclays again.
No doubt when he slammed the phone down at the end of our long chat, he screamed an expletive – deleted about the morons (me) who should not be allowed bank accounts.
Fortunately, I passed the phone to Laurie who explained in coherent fashion the nature of the problem – the password problem, not the brain problem. But Laurie is also good at Sudoku.
