Should banks discuss your banking affairs when you just go in to payin the odd mil :- in or what ever." Aaaar thats rather alot you have in you current account sir would you like to give it to me ?""um i mean pay it into a marmite interest savings account?", surely what you do with your fifty quid is up to you no?? in my younger days a couple of years back ,the bank manager may invite you into his plush office but you didnt talk dosh over the counter ,so much for privacy and health n safety . Are they like this everwhere??
That would make you a few years old, as I remember asking the questions as a spotty young oik of a bank cashier back in about 1990 )
I had monthly meetings with god all mighty mr Danbury my overbearing bank manager back in the day. Twas the norm to doff yer cap to em when i left school.
I remember a cashier asking me why i wanted to make a withdrawl ( was buying a car), when i asked why she said 2oh just wondered" which prompted me to say "i ve changed my mind, i ll close the account and take my bussiness elsewhere!!" you should have heard her grovel, still took my cash elsewhere tho!!
A few years back, during a tough business period, my Bank Manager told me that I had too many children, which wasn't helping my cash-flow... When I agreed and suggested I sell one of them to raise some capital, he didn't realise I was being sarcastic... What a nob.... We are no longer doing business together!!
Barclays sent me a letter to say they were closing my account because i was not using it..it had money in it. so i closed it. there loss when i cash my lotto winnings in...
i will tell you coz ;D, the chap today was touting for bizz obviously ,the lady before me was given the same treatment as me but she told him the money was for home improvements , he made the mistake of being over keen and asked her what she was having done ;D and she told him room buy room and just when he thought oh why did i say that n thought shed finished, she said ow and a holiday im going to egypt i like it their bla bla bla, i was trying not to laugh, im surprised he asked me i was going to follow on but i would of peed myself ;D I thought they wasnt on bonus for sales anymore, n what he thought was alot of money i was paying in just goes to show how desperate they are for your money, greed :
