The more I re-read the posts from Spirit and her husband the less sympathy I find I have. No, it was not me pushing in at HSBC either, and if these sentiments mark me out as a callous, vicious, uncaring Londoner, then so be it. But really, go back and look at the events: The man wrote out his paying-in slip next to Spirit. Spirit was blocking the machine, still sticking down the envelope. The man said 'Out of my way' Spirit said 'You can't do that I'm using this machine' The man said 'No you're not you're just writing and you're wasting my time' Rude, maybe, but it seems a big jump to say that this man was mad, deranged, lunatic about to start thumping her and running off with her purse. Like many have mentioned, it is a shame that you felt upset by the incident, and if the essay earlier has helped get things off your chest and made you feel better, then great. But in all towns and cities people live their lives at different paces, and if this kind of reaction is created when you come into contact with people who live a little faster then maybe it is a good thing for both the staff and customers of HSBC if you move your custom elsewhere.

people! what are you all advising the OP to complain about? an irate customer???

this scheme would be more useful in mrs robinson.

awfully sorry that you are upset, but I would have to agree with Huguenot's post. some people will have thought that YOU were the nuisance. by all means complain ... but what do you want to acheive? will an auto-scripted apology from head office really make that much difference to you? it's really not worth getting into a tizz about. there are more important things in life. the same thing could happen to you in your new branch too.

why on earth would someone go to McDonalds to eat burger and fries when they can pick up a perfectly reasonable burger and fries from Iceland, probably for just ?1 Middle-class t+ssers.

not necessarily -- there are many lazy locals.

if you look closely at the email address you will see that the phrase SOUthwark Primary Care Trust aligns nicely with it...

Surely it must be ... i can't imagine anybody would pay for it. ::o

the woman is worse.

the description eliminates men...and eliminates white girls. that's a start, surely.

plus there are buses that go into town if the trains do have problems: #40 towards London Bridge and #176 towards Waterloo

i saw someone have a pint of milk thrown at them on the #12 once!

tessa's survey is not working for me - anyone else have problems with it?

last time i went in there, some kind of tree or plant inside was giving me unbearable hayfever. i thought the food was ok, but i would only go there because i live that end of ED

...open a gay bar.
