From Chris Finn
Beverley, East Yorkshire
Laing’s letter reminded me that my credit cards, normally kept in my back
trouser pocket, became magnetically corrupt on occasions and, after a while, I
was able to associate this with a ride in my car.
Eventually I discovered that the “massaging” seat covers, which my wife had
bought for the car seats, included lumpy areas, each of which, it turned out,
contained a fairly strong round magnet. These were duly removed.
I never discovered what they were meant to do for my physical condition, but
I know only too well the effect they had on my cards, and I am sure that they
would have done unspeakable things to any floppies which approached too
close.
