Observations on banking
I went to HSBC Bank at the Scott Arms earlier, to withdraw some dough. I have 3 observations:
1. The "starting your own business" leaflet had a cool looking dude with 2 tattoos, wearing a t-shirt and jeans and no shoes, sitting on a stool.
2. The in house radio station was playing Sympathy for the Devil.
3. There were cardboard cut outs with pictures of a. two pandas hugging; b. a baby polar bear; c. a cute tiger cub. It wasn't immediately clear why, although eventually I did see a little display of bookmarks about how sustainable HSBC were.
Banks are weird.
