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

My first bank accountI remember when I got my first bank account - well building society actually, but it's all the same really. I had a little book which the nice lady at the local branch wrote my deposits and withdrawals in by hand. How exciting it was when they got a special machine which printed it automatically on the right line!
Anyway, I was so thrilled about this little book that when I got it I read it forwards and backwards several times. It didn't say much, but one line read 'You will be asked to quote your account number when making a transaction'. So I spent all the afternoon remembering my 10-digit account code by heart. And I was very disappointed when they never once asked me for it, preferring to just look in the little book. I can still remember it now, 30 years or so later.
