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

The story of coinage.Not the bank, but the post office.
Long story short an account wasn't paid when agreed last Sunday leaving me this week entirely brassic. Monday saw my last fiver go on a pack of cheap ciggies, and a couple of beers, I knew Tuesday I would need to resolve the situation.
I counted and sorted my coppers! Bonza! About six quids worth - well that's a few beers and I'll go onto the patches.
Off I toddle to the post office to meet the face of doom that resides there - she hates me. Where I present my bags of coinage. Where she proceeds to tell me they don't accept change anymore!
Obviously this strict procedure isn't too adhered to as she still changed the money... Tawt.
