The World's Local Bank (Not, Again).
Readers with long memories will recall my previous blogging upon the inadequacies of the world's local bank (not) . Well it seems that some public spirited Cumbrians with pronounced views upon architecture have decided to take matters into their own hands . I noticed their handiwork earlier today when a trip to Aspatria to use the cashpoint once again ended in skint frustration. Can't they get anything right at the HSBC? The fact that the assault vehicle was nicked from our village is no comfort. Local opinion has it that the villains must be the same comedians who last month tried to drill through the wall with a Black & Decker - but first broke into an adjoining property to plug the drill into an electricity supply . . .

I pray for criminals like that! You could make a Hollywood comedy caper with that material.
george clooney would probably be in it. Well maybe only in my own private version.
xxB
B: 'The Aspatria Caper', yes - like that. I think my private version would have to include Greta Scacchi . . .
speatrie+ arkleby hmm.
anyway, why no picture?
I'll see what I can do . . .
Honest, m'lud, I was making a post-modernist comment about the non-availability of banking services in rural areas .... installation at next year's Arkleby Festival of contemporary Art, perchance?
Hi from the internet Cafe in Hampi India. In here to shelter from the heat of the day. just to let you know we have been keeping up with your blog on our travels. Love to you all from Cath and Jane
Some local villains ram-raided the HSBC on my university campus back when I was a student. They nicked one of the machines.
Unfortunately for them, they nicked the bank statement machine and not the ATM...
Getaway car found abandoned in Maryport. . . says it all really.
