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

Instant TransferWhen we where buying our house I had the deposit sitting in my NatWest account. However for reasons that escape me I had to transfer the money to my Smile account.
So I went into the NatWest and asked them to transfer the money.
"No can do."
"But surely you can, I can do this on the internet at home with my smile account" (this was 6 years ago when internet banking was rather new and NatWest didn't have internet banking)
"nope"
"Well how can I transfer the money?"
"You could withdraw the cash and take it to the bank"
"So you expect me to withdraw £8,000 in cash and walk through town with it?"
"Yup"
Well my concern was that if I stood in the bank and announced that I wanted £8,000 I was sure to be mugged on the way out.
So I asked the cashier if I could have a piece of paper.
I wrote on it that I wanted to withdraw £8,000.
The cashier look rather shaky as she took the paper from me. "Thank God" she said as she opened it "I though it was going to say 'give me all your money'".
