My daughter is in town and apparently the HSBC has been demolished. My overdraft is quite safe.[:D]

"Gutted" would be more accurate. It looks like a major interior overhaul.

Are the builders working on it today?

I am supposed to have an appointment there on Tuesday. I haven't had a letter saying that it has been changed. Does it still look like a major overhaul or just a lick of paint?

Not sure but I would judge that it could quite possibly be open tomorrow.

Pretty useless branch to me since they shut the counters on Saturdays

Anybody know if the bank is open as usual? I got some cash out of the ATM on Sunday morning and the builders were working inside and the place sill looked like it was gutted.

All fine on Monday: the girl at the desk said they were expecting the carpets overnight, so as i understand (and experienced on Monday) it was business as usual but the decor was work in progress.

Diabolical shambles. Quite often only one cashier available out of the TWO available.One of them has a real attitude problem and would be better employed as a traffic warden.

Fully agree about the staffing level. I don’t go in very often but I have yet to see both cashier windows open. I called in around 10.00 this morning and actually got served straight away. Cashier told me that all the referb work is being done in the evenings and weekends and should be finished for Monday.

Doesn’t this topic belong in the shopping forum?

I too was becoming a little confused! Why was this ever started under the Policing thread?

Did sloopjohnb’s daughter think it was a bank job?[:)] Having typed that I suppose it is. I can just imagine one of the builders saying to his wife “ We’re going to do a bank job this weekend”[:D]
