Another minor irritation is the fact that I transferred the money straight into his bank account. He repaid me in cash so I now need to drive to my bank to pay it back in.
You've helped a friend out, saved him a few quid and it's cost you the price of a pint, that's what friends are supposed to do, end of.
Think of it as an investment to friendship.If you are really aggrieved that much about it PM your address and I will send you £12.£3 for the interest as mentioned by BB and £9-00 to buy yourself and your mate a pint, shake him by the hand and move on.This is a serious offer and I will never, ever, let anyone know if you took it up.Friendship is worth more that money.
Come om Tommy, what about some petrol money as well so he can take the cash to the bank.

I'm feeling aggrieved, can I have the £12?
i think you should be pleased. a 'mate' at work asked to borrow £300 for his girlfriends engagement holiday and told me he would pay me back in a month or so. turned out he is a serial gambler and he's blown it all. there was no engagement holiday either and his girlfriend has sensibly ditched him. he still works with me and just avoids any eye contact. i may get the cash back one day but lesson learnt.

Don't lose a friendship over a few quid. We all have our own ideas on how things should be settled or worked out, we've all had it in the past with regards to money and friends, be it sharing a bill in a restaurant, buying rounds in pubs etc etcYou've not really lost out, as was previously mentioned if it was £50k different story but we're talking small amounts in lost interest, I would look yourself in the mirror, say to yourself he's a mate, it's only £500 and then repeat your name on the forum to yourself DILLIGAFF Just make sure he buys you an extra beer down the pub next time you're out.
