Waiting for Ulster Bank

Sir, – I called into my local Ulster Bank branch on College Green in Dublin this morning to try and get a cheque cashed.

Sir, – I called into my local Ulster Bank branch on College Green in Dublin this morning to try and get a cheque cashed.

While in the queue I was approached by a member of staff inquiring as to whether I’d like “a cup of tea”, to which I replied I’d rather find out when my monthly salary would get paid into my account. If a fiasco like this happened on an episode of Father Ted we would fall about laughing; the fact that it’s real life is astounding. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Ulster Bank’s online banking website is called Ulsterbank Anytime. Is this their idea of a joke? – Yours, etc,
