Actually, something exciting happened tonight - the reveal of BBC Three's new pres. So that thread is slow no longer. It took me four attempts to post a reply there earlier, because of other people posting in quick succession.

Or leave it as it makes no difference at all? Indeed, who wants to mess about updating card details everywhere just to update the look of their debit card? When Yorkshire Bank rebranded to Virgin Money and sent everyone new cards, mine had the exact same details as the old one, except for the expir...
