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

Alliance & LeicesterHave just been rather special. I needed to transfer 4 grand to a supplier. Needs to be FasterPayments as the money needs to be there tomorrow. Fine. So, I ring Alliance & Leicester to be told that the limit per customer per day for FP is £250. What madness is this?
Their suggestion is that I go and withdraw 4 grand from the Post Office, go to the supplier's bank, deposit there and all will be good. This, I do - except I realise that there's not a branch of their bank in the town I'm in.
So, with 4 grand in cash on me, I head back to my local A&L branch, where I mention the problems. "Um, you can deposit it here and it'll go straight into their account", mentions the woman.
Nnnng.

Shocked, but not surprisedWouldn't it be so much easier if everyone working at the same bank gave customers the same information? I spent the best part of a year manually withdrawing funds from one account and depositing them in another - because one bankerwanker told me that it was impossible to link the accounts electronically.
