I have a "credit card or Debit card" thing. just for divy at the Bolton Co-op, I booked my holiday with Co-op Travel and got over £150 back on the divi card. I used it in San Francisco last year and got a load of dollars in cash from a machine.
Cheers

Co-op number, burnt in to the brain at a very early age, still use it, as a pin number on some Internet accounts.
In my advancing years, its about all I can remember.

Co-op share number
When I was at Leith Nautical College in 1946, I group of us went to Portobello one Saturday morning. One of the lads, a chap from New Zealand, went into a shop and when buying something, the assistant asked, "Do you have a number?" Taken aback by such a strange question, he replied, "I have a name." He was, of course, in the Co-OP.
