Evening all

To make up for yesterday it's been a day of sunshine. Not that I made much use of it but it was good for the few short walks and just looking out of the window.
Do you still have to go up to the counter in your bank Den? On the rare occasions that I have to pay a cheque in, I fill up the paying in slip at home, put it in a Bank supplied envelope and then pop it in their paying in box. What impressed me these days is that by the time I get back and look at my account on-line, it's already credited.
This always reminds me of how long some organisations take to get into the real world. Every so often I am required, for pension purposes, to prove that I am still alive. That's OK but I then get a form that asks for a signature of 'your bank manager, your priest or your GP'
Thankfully, with regular medication, I do know my GP but he charges for the signature.
BUT, who knows their bank manager these days? I've never known mine. I opened an account when I first started work in the City and have never found it necessary to change it's location. When I wanted anything special, a phone call is all that was necessary.
Since then, my branch has changed twice purely because the bank rationalised and shut down branches. I've never even seen my current branch let alone been in it or know who the manager is.
It would make more sense for my newsagent to say yes 'he comes in every day' but then he's an Indian and they'd probably think my heirs had forged it just to get the cash.
That's it for the week's moan. I have plenty more in reserve but I'll save them up for another day.

Right you lot!
