I left HSBC after a telephone conversation that went:
Phone rings and I answer it by giving my name (as I always do)
Bank: "Hello is that Mr Snoopy?"
Me: "Yes"
Bank: "For security purposes can you confirm your telephone number"
Me: "Yes"
Bank: "Well what is it?"
Me: "If you want me to tell you my telephone number then say so ~ if you want me to confirm it then you must tell me what you think it is and I'll confirm whether you have it right"
Bank: "That's not how it works"
Me: "It does if you speak English .... Anyway you must have the right number as you called me and I have answered"
Bank: "It's a security matter"
Me: "Then call MI5"
Bank: "It is for your protection"
Me: "So how do I know that you are indeed the HSBC?"
Bank: "Because I told you when I called and you answered"
Me: "And I told you who I was when I answered .... anyway I do not discuss my financial affairs over the telephone, I suggest you write to me"
Bank: "But your account is set up for telephone banking"
Me: "Not any more it isn't ~ You will be receiving a letter from me ~ Goodbye"


I have had similar conversations with Electricity Companies, Insurance Sales Staff, The Post Office and sundry others and have probably mentioned it before but why oh why do they let these muppets loose on the public?

Just tell them they have to come into your branch to sort it out.

That's going out on a limb..........

1/2 can Red Bull energy drink
1 - 2 oz Jagermeister herbal liqueur

Pour red bull into a medium sized glass. Add a shot glass of jagermeister, and chug.

Apparently they are a birthday tradition with the guys I was out with so they kept being bought for me even though I was perfectly happy with the cervezas with the shot of tequila mixed in that I was already drinking.  redface:
