You can't make an omelette....

I'm a hoarder - I tend to keep stuff whenever I think it might come in useful one day. But then, every now and again, I have a clearout. By coincidence, just a week or so ago, I was weeding out my correspondance tray, which is where I tend to stick, among other things, unsolicited mail which I just might need to refer back to. And in there I found a mail shot from Egg which probably goes back 12 months or more, inviting me - indeed almost pleading with me - to apply for an Egg credit card. I didn't, but I was reminded of this when I saw the news that Egg are withdrawing their credit cards from some 160,000 customers following a "risk review". How things have changed in such a short time.
