    I thought you may like that one.;)

    BTW, are all of the banks closed today?

    There are a lot of bank staff on here today, obviously they cannot all be on holiday, can they?;)

    anybody have experience of que walkers ?

    Oh yes. After (once only) paying my cheque in via the deposit box when suggested, I found out that rather than the cheque going in that day as it would have had I remained in the queue, it took a couple of days to appear on my statement.

    And only about 1/2 the 10 or so counters were open at the time. The queue walker would certainly, in this case, be better serving customers if they were at a counter.

    -o I am humble -o You are attention seeking -o She is Nadine Dorries

    However, as Lokolo said above, it depends on what sort of box you put it in. I assume you used one of the old fashioned ones where you write it on an envelope. But banks that have a machine in them will put cash/cheques into your account while you are standing there.

    Also gives your a receipt which has the cheques and paying slips printed on :)

    Why can't they? There is more than one bank ya know, with more than 1 branch :rolleyes:

    Personally, I'm just taking some time back this week so will not be posting as much next week. :dance:

    Is that ok? :rolleyes:
    Anything that I do say, is strictly my opinion :p

    It would have taken a couple of days anyway, unless it was a house cheque.

    does that cover YOUR contents as well as the building? If so i would suggest you either, still live at home, have a generous landlord/landlady or your partner owns the property?

    just a repost unless you missed this one paul??

    It is not for any bank employee to tell their customers how to conduct their own affairs, tho' I know a lot of them think it is.:rolleyes:

    I'll join the large group of people who disagree with virtually everything you say.

    Why you see a problem with offering other options is beyond me. You're the one using the word 'tell'.

    Precisely. Nobody has TOLD anyone to do anything. It's a suggestion. It's my personal view, and my view alone, that those people who refuse that suggestion in favour of standing around doing nothing and waiting to do much the same thing are idiotic.
