How much did they take?
I got angry when mine happened as The banks systems couldn't work out that I could not be in Fulham and Dussledorf AT THE SAME TIME.

Nothing, luckily.
I think my bank caught it before they tried using it. Means I'm without access to my account for a week, though. This is because I've lost my cheque book and therefore can't go over the counter.

Just go into a branch with some ID

Slough is apparently the card cloning crime capital of the UK or some such nonsense
when mine was cloned a few months ago all the transactions were in Slough. Buying phone topup cards, and a bus ticket to Stockport. I actually felt sorry for the poor bastard after that.
Also, your bank is fucking retarded if they won't let you go in with the defunct card and some ID and get cash out over the counter.

Doris on the phone said I needed my chequebook and a form of photo ID
The only thing that was stopped was my book order, so it's not the end of the world.

It's because phone top-ups are processed in Slough
I asked about that when my debit card was cloned. The transactions could be anywhere but phone top-ups show as Slough.

This does not detract from my inference that Slough is a scum-ridden hole.

I won't argue with that

She's talking about me.

That's why I'm not arguing

I wasn't
unless of course you are single handedly responsible for Slough being the aforementioned card crime UK capital? I doubt you would be buying date drinks on your Mastercard if this was the case.

I saw my first ever mugging in Slough, broad daylight outside of the train station
a group of lads surrounded, jostled and shouted at a girl and ripped her handbag away. She was really shaken up, so I slipped her one to take her mind of things, then the police came and gave me a medal and said I could keep a police car which i then used to fight crime
