Alexander L 80 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I had an ancient account in the defunct Alliance and Leicester. It's now Santander. I wanted to close my account and take out my teenage money. A fair thick wad. There were 2 teller windows open. I occupied one and a local white Englishman the other. It was taking ages for them to work out how to get my wad out. When a third customer walked in, the supervisor, went out to the customer and said "we're involved in some complicated transactions, would you like to come back in half an hour?" Man did I miss the banking system in HK right then. Link to post Share on other sites
