I wounder if the questions will change when we switch to plastic bank notes. They are advertised as being better when washed in the laundery.

Why are images of c-notes hanging on the rack running through my brain?

Maybe it's just my wake and bake Sunday morning breakfast

But who uses cash any more? I never have more than a sawbuck in my wallet. I use debit for everything.

All money belongs to banks. You are kidding yourself if you think you are asking for what is yours.

Money was invented by bankers to make their control of you appear more acceptable - ie you don't see the bars of the cage and consider yourself free.

They control what you think and what you decide to spend your 'slave pennies' on.

The money you think is yours is a few digits in a computer hard drive and can be 'disappeared' by a 'bank failure' if it suits their agenda (remember Iceland)

I use cash.......I do use my debit card sometime, but not very often in relation to real shopping.
I use my cards for stuff I buy online.(through an intermediary)

Sign of the times....when I was playing shops with my 6 year-old granddaughter the other day she asked me 'is that pin or sign?' and when her 3 year-old sister was the shopkeeper she said 'you have to have a credit card'.

I sometimes wonder if the Govt. will say - OK let's pay off the National Debt by confiscating all the cash ISAs. A cunning plot Baldrick?

I think you are talking rubbish now, I was with my last bank for 20 odd years and the staff didn't know me because it was very rare I went into the branch.

I wouldn't tell them if they asked me and I would expect to get it if I had the ID they asked for. It has nothing to do with them why you want it.

Banks are thieves(their up to all sorts) an If their caught, they pay the fine with our money and come up with another way to rob us.

Well in the end the stress of the whole ordeal proved to much for my mate,he went on a 2wk bender, spent £5 and a half of his 6k on "ladies of negotiable virtue" and "stimulants".
On a plus side his new 1998 fiesta is Mot'd an taxed till July

That is why you think it is alright then Neil. You know that those who are in the bank working for a living do not know you from a bar of soap...but I visit my bank regularly. I joke with the tellers and speak to the Manager regularly.

I even bought the staff a tin of biscuits to have with their coffee at Christmas.
They are nice lads and lasses. It isn't them who formulate these policies...it is those higher up the management chain.

I went in recently to pay some of Ma's bills and took my usual identification stuff(evidence of the Bank Mandate)and the teller didn't check it because she knows me.......and on the bank slip that I signed she had witten 'known'. Doesn't that say it all?
