BanksYour Ginger Fuhrer froths, "I hate my bank. Not because of debt or anything but because I hate being sold to - possibly pathologically so - and everytime I speak to them they try and sell me services. Gold cards, isas, insurance, you know the crap. It drives me insane. I ALREADY BANK WITH YOU. STOP IT. YOU MAKE ME FRIGHTED TO DO MY NORMAL BANKING. I'm angry even thinking about them."
So, tell us your banking stories of woe.
No doubt at least one of you has shagged in the vault, shat on a counter or thrown up in a cash machine. Or something

Clydesdael GalashielsA Mate of mine used the Clydesdale bank cash machine at night during the time of night when they get their software update and it swallowed his card. He went back the following day with his passport to get his card back. The harridian's behind the security screen said they couldn't had over the card, so as to prevent fraud and instead it would have to be sent to for destruction; even though he was a French national with valid photographic ID - making it easier from him to prove himself in a small Scottish uni town. Instead he had to wait for a new card to be shipped over from France and hope that his wallet didn't run out of cash.

Unfortunately this is trueIt happens a lot; but bank A cannot see bank B's customer's details to see if the card is valid/stolen/massively over it's limit/absolutely fine. They don't like people hacking into their systems to find stuff out.
Mind you, there's enough laptops left in the back of taxis these days for everything about everyone to be common knowledge...
