i know i always moan about shops and that, but how much of a pain in the bum is paying cash into the bank?

use the machine, it doesnt work. just spits the notes back out at me whilst a queue gathers behind me looking annoyed. its not me, its the machine its sh1te. the one in the halifax works when i use it for my mum, but my bank account isnt with the halifax so doesnt do me much good.

so i go to the counter and basically get a police interview for paying in peanuts. paid in 3 grand it was like i was paying in 3 million. got asked where it was from, i said the bookies. then she said i must be very lucky if its from the bookies. asked me what id bet on. i dont know do i, probably from a bet a year ago that the cash has been stuck under the mattress. ive lost 10 grand in a day 3 times in the last year, 3 grand doesnt even register ffs. ive got another 14 or so grand in the house cos i hate paying it in the bank. they always seem to think im a drug dealer or summat just for paying in a few quid.

Don't shoot the monkey - just carrying out policy and procedures - and fighting agennem is pointless.

You need to advise that lot on Horse Racing.
They say they can't get much more than twenty quid a time on in the bookies.
Unless you go to the tracks to bet.
