I have just checked and it seems that although Barclaycard gave the impression that they were going to stop the transaction, it appears the relented. I may well have a shiny new toy tomorrow after all.
So the question I now ask is should a small portion of humble pie be eaten with a fork or spoon?

Barclays Fraud Detection is quite sensitive. Just phone them up and they will reset your card and pre-approve the transaction.
What gets me is that things that are fine one week are unacceptable the next.

I've found a cure for LBA.
At the beginning of this week I decided to treat myself to a 40LTD second hand on SRS's website. This fell through so I thought a bit more and changed my mind and ordered a 35LTD macro. This too fell through.
What stopped these deals?
The dopey muppets at barclays bank. I have never had trouble ordering on line before, but suddenly they have decided that camera shops are fraudsters and they will save me from them.
So now at least I do not have to get up in time morning in time to see the Postman. I do not have to go to the effort of of unwrapping a parcel. I do not have to face the difficulties of an unfamiliar lens.
Thanks barclays - you really are a bunch of Bankers.

On the brighter side, The Vulcan is now fully airworthy and should be displaying at Waddington and Goodwood this weekend.

Condemning it is similar to saying that Pentax should not have made the coloured KXs purely because an individual does not want one.

Mind you, my wife eats peanut butter and marmite sandwiches so really I can't talk much.
Personally I find the thought of even ham and cheese together pretty disgusting so maybe I just have simple tastes

On account of the great news on the Vulcanic front Oggy, the pie could go back into the freezer (you hadn't de-frosted it had you?)
