Job Application for bank - leaving/missing out a job I quit. Good idea?

I'm applying for a job in a bank, who need 5 years residence & employment history.

Heres the problem...exactly 5 yrs ago I worked in a kitchen for a couple of weeks. It was awful & I left without telling them...just didnt show up 1 day for work & they didnt contact me either?!! Ha!

Trouble is do I put it on my app, as they will get in touch with them, banks check everything & Im guessing it'll be on my National Insurance history or some kind of record(?) or miss it out, which is in affect, lying, and I don't want to do that!

Seems like a no win situation

    I guess I am worried it will go against me, the fact I quit. But I think I will be honest
