Hole in the hole in the wall...
I once withdrew a £100 from a cash mashine at night. After counting and recounting my dough, I was amazed to discover only nine crisp tenners had been dispensed along with my receipt for the whole ton. As the police station was right next door, I walked straight in and explained the situation to the disbelieving desk PC. I was advised to contact the bank first thing in the morning. The bank also failed to see how the supposedly infallable machine had short changed me, but agreed to contact me when the thing was due for a refill of notes. Surprisingly they called a little later the same day and admitted the error, as there must have been a tenner up in the float. My account was immediately refunded and justice was done. I then relaxed after the mild panic. Two days later I received a letter from the bank informing me that since my withdrawal, I had been overdrawn and imposed a £25 fine for the priveledge! I rang and spoke to the manager explaining the circumstances, but he refused to back down as the records showed no mistake on the bank's part (hard faced twat I thought). I took my business elsewhere after that and rejoiced when the branch folded a short while later. Down with the lot of 'em I say, sanctamonious small minded bastards. Hope they'll all be happy when we're all banking online and they're out of a job. Just as it happened to all the insurance companys...
