Now that we own the banks...

... well, almost. What devilment can we get up to?

1. Pop into your local branch and ask to take a look in the safe. After all, you are a co-owner.

2. Apply for a loan and complete the 'Office only' section and stamp it 'APPROVED'.

3. If the teller doesn't give you what you ask for, sack her.

4. Tell the wife you are going to the pub for a board meeting.

5. Buy a bowler hat and wear it when you go to the bank.

There must be more.

6. Pay your debt repayments to yourself

6. Turn up weekly with a clipboard and take an inventory and check the cleaning is being done sufficiently. Take with you a stopwatch and time how long they take to serve each customer, noting this down on your clipboard. Weekly send a copy of the report to the branch, with a chart showing if they are improving or not in their customer service turnaround times. Print out a nice colourful bar chart for the walls, so customers may see that things have improved (or not) since you took over.

7. Arrange a weekly meeting with the branch manager to go over your findings from your inspections.

have a 'staf meeting' in the lobby, and ask counter assistant for tea and biscuits..

give them a paying in slip for £xxx,, and tell them to take the cash out of the (OUR) taxpayers bailot stash..

setup a premium rate number for yourself, so THEY have to pay to call you..

then keep on hold for ages, naturally.:beer:

Take a sleeping bag and sleep in the lobby to save the taxi home from the pub at the weekend.

Come on, there must be more.

How about, when you get to the teller you ask:

"If you want to put my cheque in, say 1. If you'd like to take my credit card payment, say 2. If you want to accept my loan application say 3. Or say 6 for more options."

Then, when she says 'Eh?', you say 'Sorry, please tell me your date of birth, for example, for the 16th February 1949 say 1 6 0 2 4 9'. If she plays along, say 'Sorry that is incorrect, please stand on one leg with a finger in your left ear and try again.'

'How many letters are there in your mother's maiden name?'.

Walk up to the teller and say nothing.

Play a little music from your iPod.

Just as the music gets to the good bit say 'Thank you for waiting - my business is important to you'.

Then start the music all over again.

Don't forget to split all letters up so that you get one sheet per envelope, so 3 sheets, 3 envelopes. Just like I get my statements.
