I've just been to the bank
to pay in a cheque. The bloke behind the counter was being quite chatty as he stamped the counterfoil - "How are you today, Dr K2k6? Nice weather, isn't it?" and so on.

Until he hit me with the last comment.

"OK sir. That'll be six working days until the cheque clears. Goodbye."

Six days. That's next Friday. Six fucking days.

6

3!

2x3

12/2

However you want to put it, that's a long time. It used to be 3 days. I'd have thought that with the shit the banks are in at the moment, they'd be trying to encourage us to give them our money. Taking six days to clear a cheque (and it was a corporate one, not a personal one) is taking the piss.

Sorry. I just needed to vent.
