Same here, though I've only asked for cashback on a handful of occasions.

banjo,

Was trying to see if I could get an answer for you.

There is a tribute act to Johnny Cash called 'Keep it Cash' who are local guys from here and they have recently
sung on a BT advert which names about 45 towns, cities and villages in Northern Ireland.
I assume this advert was only shown over here but I am wondering if they also did the advert for 'There's
no place like home'.

Perhaps there are others on HG who may know the answer.

Is it true to say that someone who takes blood samples is called a phlebotomist rather than a nurse?

I wasn't sure where to put this but thought if I put it here it might be noticed by a few folk.

Here's the situation I am in which I don't know how to deal with.
At Christmas I gave an Amazon voucher to a friend along with a Christmas card.
I didn't expect her to open it in front of me but as yet I have received no word of thanks.
What course of action do I take now?
A) Do nothing and end up feeling like I may just as well have thrown money down the drain
B) Send her a copy of the printed voucher to her home address

Ask her what she used her voucher on.
