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

Irresponsible lendingA bit more than a year ago, when being in debt was fashionable, I got a call from someone at my bank that sounds like HSBT (edited on legal advice).
It was a girl. She said "Hi! I'm phoning to see if you would like a loan".
I said I didn't.
"Why not?"
"Well I've managed to pay off my credit cards and I would prefer not to get into debt again".
"Everyone has loans! I owe about £25k, it not a problem!"
"I'd really rather not"
"Well what are you up to at the weekend? You sound cool - wouldn't you like to be driving a new car..."
"No, really...."
"I tell you what, if you take the loan, I'll tell you where me and my friends are out tonight.."
wtf. Virtually offering sex for loans!! I had to hang up in the end. But in my imagination she was well fit :-(

Irresponsible lending - fit lady at call centre...and the name of the bank and the number of the call centre?
Seriously it reminds me of the "Free Sex with the Bank Manager's Wife" T shirts that Viz were flogging ages ago!
Anyway a click for a good story!
