Cash Points on LL....

[Keef]

Jah please tell me you didn't listen when he said "don't go to the pub tonight, give us the money"... I'm relying on you man. (I was too little to be going to the pub, but had I been older, that very sentence would have had me reaching for my coat).

Gandolf, sorry, Geldof never got a penny out of me, Keef. Which reminds me, I must go to the cashpoint and get some money out.

ha - just seen this. I was going to call Barclays today anyway but work overtook so never got the chance...

[SeanMacGabhann]

Rang both Barclays and HSBC this morning - both tremendously courteous and apologetic and they took my name and number and said they would address, but we'll see eh?

Just in case people dont know, but there is a "free of charge" cash machine in the post office (next to the drycleaners) down the dulwich library end of LL - however this will mean that you have to venture into the "crappy parts of ED" (see previous threads :)

[SeanMacGabhann]

It should be pointed out as well that the machine lordship_bod mentions is a new machine which, whilst an improvement on the old ZX Spectrum they were using, is often out of action but not obviously so. Ie no messages but it keeps you waiting for nearly 5 minutes before saying Operation Timed Out

[Keef]

Is the Lloyds often empty then?

[Brendan]

It is empty or out of order on a relatively regular basis yes but not as often as the Barclays and the HSBC.

what about the cash points at sainsburys? i cant however guarantee the the money from them is organic locally produced stuff so obviously not suitable for a lot of forumites,and one would probably have to drive there,hence leaving a carbon footprint and even worse than that one might be tempted to actually go into the place. shit what was i thinking of just forget everything i said.

Beware of the right hand HSBC card hungry machine. Both myself, and a friends girlfriend have lost cards in that hole in the wall. .Card goes in then the thing reboots "press F2" etc etc. card stays in and machine sits on standby. Lucky for me (and also quite bizarrely) while shouting and thumping it a voice from within asked me if my card was stuck. The talking machine turned out to be someone locking up so i got the card back but it was just luck that I got it back.

Went to Somerfield tonight and tried to get ?50 cashback, but was told I could only have ?20 because the management had been asked so many times for large amounts of cashback because of the cruddy state of affairs with the cashpoints nearby. The assistant said it was the first time this had happened and would probably not last longer than today. Nero

[SeanMacGabhann]

Hopefully the manager there will have words with his banking neighbours re: the cash points as well then

I won't be on the Lane this weekend so updates on how it goes are most appreciated

[Jimbo]

All seemed ok this morning.....
