0:00:55.725 --> 0:00:58.325
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend I foo too Twinidad to visit his friend. We

0:00:58.445 --> 0:01:02.005
<v Speaker 1>had Laker Airlines flights via Barbados. Oh my what who

0:01:02.085 --> 0:01:05.045
<v Speaker 1>is the crazy Freddy Laker? That was the guy. Yeah,

0:01:05.245 --> 0:01:09.285
<v Speaker 1>until the day before when Laker went bust. We were

0:01:10.325 --> 0:01:14.725
<v Speaker 1>what the person Freddy? We were rebooked two days later,

0:01:14.805 --> 0:01:17.765
<v Speaker 1>but had no way to contact our friend. Of course,

0:01:17.805 --> 0:01:21.365
<v Speaker 1>eighties no mobiles, so she waited at the airport for

0:01:21.405 --> 0:01:22.005
<v Speaker 1>two days.

0:01:22.485 --> 0:01:23.565
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Like, what's that is?

0:01:23.605 --> 0:01:28.445
<v Speaker 1>It, Tom Hanks, Yes, the terminal just lives there. We

0:01:28.445 --> 0:01:30.925
<v Speaker 1>should do. It's a time before phones, because stuff like

0:01:30.965 --> 0:01:34.085
<v Speaker 1>this used to happen where then wasn't there. When we

0:01:34.125 --> 0:01:36.765
<v Speaker 1>finally arrived late at night, all we had was her

0:01:37.005 --> 0:01:39.725
<v Speaker 1>street name, which turned out to be four miles long

0:01:41.965 --> 0:01:45.965
<v Speaker 1>a freeway. After driving up and down aimlessly, we gave

0:01:46.085 --> 0:01:49.725
<v Speaker 1>up and went into a dodgy hotel where the bathroom

0:01:49.765 --> 0:01:52.965
<v Speaker 1>door hung off one and the staff bang on our

0:01:52.965 --> 0:01:56.245
<v Speaker 1>door all night, depending demanding payment we couldn't make until

0:01:56.245 --> 0:01:59.365
<v Speaker 1>the bank opened in the morning. My boyfriend went for

0:01:59.525 --> 0:02:02.045
<v Speaker 1>cash when I was stuck behind reception with the luggage.

0:02:02.325 --> 0:02:04.645
<v Speaker 1>I was like held hostage there as a deposit.

0:02:04.645 --> 0:02:05.885
<v Speaker 2>That's a human deposit.

0:02:07.085 --> 0:02:11.165
<v Speaker 3>We spent the day knocking about fifty doors along her

0:02:11.165 --> 0:02:14.845
<v Speaker 3>street until someone finally recognized the name and pointed us

0:02:14.885 --> 0:02:18.365
<v Speaker 3>down the road to the right house. Once we found her,

0:02:18.445 --> 0:02:21.605
<v Speaker 3>she cooked every meal for us, all very spicy curries,

0:02:21.765 --> 0:02:24.245
<v Speaker 3>and because I can't handle spice while you're Australian, I

0:02:24.285 --> 0:02:28.845
<v Speaker 3>basically livedoti in bananas. Then I developed a tooth absence,

0:02:30.605 --> 0:02:33.405
<v Speaker 3>and a cousin the pharmacist slipped me antibiotic so strong

0:02:33.565 --> 0:02:34.525
<v Speaker 3>I fainted in the heat.

0:02:34.725 --> 0:02:40.685
<v Speaker 1>No, I would never go on a holiday again. Oh

0:02:40.765 --> 0:02:43.445
<v Speaker 1>my god, we must do it was a time before

0:02:43.485 --> 0:02:46.765
<v Speaker 1>mobile phones. We've got Scott now, Scott, welcome to the show.

0:02:47.765 --> 0:02:48.485
<v Speaker 2>Hi, how are you?

0:02:48.605 --> 0:02:50.885
<v Speaker 1>I'm good Scott, so tell us his story mate, what

0:02:50.965 --> 0:02:51.525
<v Speaker 1>happened to you?

0:02:52.365 --> 0:02:55.045
<v Speaker 2>Well? I saved up everything I could to for a

0:02:55.085 --> 0:02:58.605
<v Speaker 2>business class trip to London and Italy. I get to London,

0:02:58.685 --> 0:02:59.725
<v Speaker 2>having a great time for.

0:02:59.685 --> 0:03:02.645
<v Speaker 4>The first few days, and then walked out of a

0:03:02.645 --> 0:03:06.085
<v Speaker 4>pub one night and I had my phone stolen by

0:03:06.125 --> 0:03:06.845
<v Speaker 4>a group of youths.

0:03:07.125 --> 0:03:10.925
<v Speaker 2>Oh unlocked. They got into my cards, my.

0:03:10.925 --> 0:03:14.765
<v Speaker 4>Crypto sold off about fifty k worth of crypto and

0:03:14.845 --> 0:03:21.885
<v Speaker 4>transported to a card fifty thousand. It took me, of course,

0:03:21.965 --> 0:03:23.565
<v Speaker 4>be in the middle of the night. I couldn't do anything.

0:03:23.605 --> 0:03:26.725
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't get an access anything. The next day I

0:03:26.725 --> 0:03:30.285
<v Speaker 4>bought another phone and had trouble getting on so getting

0:03:30.325 --> 0:03:32.485
<v Speaker 4>on to everything point because of two fa and twofa

0:03:32.685 --> 0:03:34.685
<v Speaker 4>was linked to my card.

0:03:34.765 --> 0:03:37.485
<v Speaker 1>This is the female, because everything lives on our phones. Yes,

0:03:38.965 --> 0:03:40.885
<v Speaker 1>time with home card. This is nightmare.

0:03:41.645 --> 0:03:44.685
<v Speaker 4>It got worse when they arrived in Italy ten thirty

0:03:44.725 --> 0:03:47.885
<v Speaker 4>at night in Verona, only to find the baggage carrousel

0:03:47.965 --> 0:03:48.765
<v Speaker 4>stopped without my.

0:03:48.725 --> 0:03:49.445
<v Speaker 2>Bags coming out.

0:03:49.605 --> 0:03:50.525
<v Speaker 1>Oh you're kidding.

0:03:51.125 --> 0:03:53.045
<v Speaker 2>So I have three days in Italy with no cards,

0:03:53.125 --> 0:03:55.205
<v Speaker 2>no cash, no clothes. What did you do?

0:03:56.205 --> 0:03:59.445
<v Speaker 4>I stayed in the hotel and contacted a friend who

0:03:59.565 --> 0:04:03.725
<v Speaker 4>TRANSFERREDY let the hotel know his credit cards details.

0:04:03.765 --> 0:04:05.805
<v Speaker 2>I could eat and drink while I was while I

0:04:05.885 --> 0:04:11.685
<v Speaker 2>was in Italy. Wow, oh God, couldn't wait to get home.

0:04:12.285 --> 0:04:15.045
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can't help. But thinking about that, you're losing

0:04:15.125 --> 0:04:17.765
<v Speaker 1>fifty thousand dollars. What happened then? Could you recover it?

0:04:17.885 --> 0:04:18.885
<v Speaker 2>Or no?

0:04:19.125 --> 0:04:23.085
<v Speaker 4>That the hard look cut a long story short Visa,

0:04:23.284 --> 0:04:25.325
<v Speaker 4>because I had the physical card and use that to

0:04:25.325 --> 0:04:28.565
<v Speaker 4>buy the phone the next day, Visa said, no, you can't.

0:04:28.885 --> 0:04:33.205
<v Speaker 2>You can't claim any of the transactions. Oh the whole

0:04:33.245 --> 0:04:33.884
<v Speaker 2>what was gone?

0:04:34.484 --> 0:04:36.964
<v Speaker 1>That's just that's all I have to deal with it.

0:04:38.085 --> 0:04:39.844
<v Speaker 1>That's so much money to lose.

0:04:40.284 --> 0:04:41.205
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry you went through.

0:04:41.325 --> 0:04:43.125
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I already sort to hear that. Mate, that is

0:04:43.205 --> 0:04:45.164
<v Speaker 1>just horrendous. The least we can do is give you

0:04:45.164 --> 0:04:46.085
<v Speaker 1>five hundred dollars.

0:04:48.085 --> 0:04:49.284
<v Speaker 2>Mate, you're a legend.

0:04:49.364 --> 0:04:51.964
<v Speaker 1>Wish I could give you the forty nine thousand and

0:04:52.205 --> 0:04:55.325
<v Speaker 1>find more, but don't have it to start and have

0:04:55.404 --> 0:04:58.325
<v Speaker 1>it to hand to start. Every month, we'll call you

0:04:58.364 --> 0:04:59.604
<v Speaker 1>back and just give you a bit more and a

0:04:59.604 --> 0:05:01.285
<v Speaker 1>bit more. In the next couple of years. We'll get

0:05:01.284 --> 0:05:04.284
<v Speaker 1>it down there. We're getting through this, Scott, and listen,

0:05:04.325 --> 0:05:06.164
<v Speaker 1>I really hope that you win the holiday on Friday

0:05:06.205 --> 0:05:08.405
<v Speaker 1>and you're going back to London that pub. No, no,

0:05:09.005 --> 0:05:11.085
<v Speaker 1>you're only five hundred dollars, and then you could be

0:05:11.085 --> 0:05:14.925
<v Speaker 1>winning a ten thousand dollars holiday this Friday on the show. Scott,

0:05:15.325 --> 0:05:19.124

0:05:19.205 --> 0:05:22.844
<v Speaker 1>about it or not. I have to. I've got no choice,

0:05:23.364 --> 0:05:25.205
