Seemingly endless queues at cash machines where countless people seem willing to wait to extract cash in order to wait in more endless queues inside high street stores to exchange the same cash for the chosen gift for their loved ones.
Now had this been twenty years ago when we didn't have cash machines and queued inside banks to take cash out then I could accept this blindingly stupid phenomenon.
But this is 2007 and HELLO.......99.99% percent of all shops accept debit cards so why not, instead of standing at two queues, just go into the sodding shop and pay using the sodding card you were going to take the sodding cash out with in the first place !!!!!!
Or am I missing out on some hidden exchange rate where for every £10 you take out from a cash machine the bank in an overwhelming show of generosity gives you another £1 completely free of charge.... ?????Look........ someone using their debit card to pay for something and "gosh" it cost £8.99....it's just like handing over £10 and being given £1.01 back in change ........ honest !!!
