geographical area, providing offers and meeting regulations that vary from

 YOUR CREDIT CARD DOESN’T REALLY HAVE AN EXPIRATION
DATE: Yes, it says so on your card, but you could continue using it after
the expiration date. Have you ever notice how the number on your
replacement card is the same? The expiration date on your card fills two
main purposes. First, it is an estimate of the lifetime of your credit card
and gives your credit card issuer a date to send you a new card. Second, it
is used for online and over-the-phone purchases when the merchant cannot
see your card. Asking for the expiration date allows the merchant to
confirm you are the owner of the card and have it in your possession.

was no party. And that no Covid rules were broken.
But then a report released last month said that he and his staff did break the
rules. And there are pictures. These are from the PM’s birthday in 2020. And
also from a colleague’s farewell party during the country’s second lockdown.

that should not have been allowed. Johnson later acknowledging and pledging
to do better:
- I take full responsibility for everything that took place on my watch.
