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 best I ever did was 80 quid one weekendPaid for all of my shopping.
Overall, I'm down. I set a limit and stick to it - a couple of draw games and an instant win every couple of weeks. I like the chance of winning, even if mostly I lose.
It's not large sums of money, and I spend far more on beer.
Of course what is evil is their monitoring of your activity. If you decide to go a bit mad with draw games/instant wins using the online site, and then realise you're being daft and scale things back they write to your address and enquire why you're not using it as much. They've also changed the game playing limits, so that it's less useful for restricting your playing.
I'm sure there are worse sites, but if you think you could develop a gambling problem, the National Lottery online site is not a good place to be.
