Sex is like oxygen, it's not important until you're not getting any.

1. walk in to a bank on a Friday and write out a cheque to myself to withdraw money

Barclays are suggesting that if there is no branch near you, and the local post office cashpoint doesn't accept your card, because they are withdrawing the agreement for using PO Machines, then you can go into the post office and cash a cheque, all very well and good if the post office is open when you get home from work, or on a sunday.

Or you can just close your account and open a new one with a bank that does allow you to withdraw cash from a PO machine.

Never liked Barclays since I discovered the had branches in S Africa during the Apartheid years
