CliveH Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Me taking a client who is blind to Nationwide Building Society (at the time the one we recommended for Cash ISA's) - to set up a cash ISA (they asked me to accompany them as they had had difficulty before in getting through the anti money laundering documentation. Cashier - "Can I see some photo I D - driving licence or passport for personal identification please?" Client - "I am blind - I have no Driving Licence or Passport." Cashier - "Oh! - well do you have any utility bills in your name so we can confirm your address?" Client - "No bills are sent to me personally as I cannot se them." Cashier is now struck dumb by the situation. Me - I say "Look there is a procedure for registered blind people can you please follow that?" Cashier - "But without a Passport or Photo Driving Licence we cannot proceed!" Me - "Look - he is blind!! - he has as much chance of getting a shotgun licence as getting a Driving Licence!". Cashier - "Can you let me have his Shotgun Licence then - we can use that..........." (We did it in the end - but with the manager and a form signed by me stating that we were happy to confirm his identity) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archiesgrandad Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Many years ago, on a course for beginners, aboard a lovely old sailing cruiser, we had just finished lunch anchored up in the Hamble, and the instructor was tidying up in the saloon. He handed the half full teapot to a girl seated in the cockpit with the request " can you heave that lot over the side please?". She did so, and we had to drink instant coffee for the rest of the week. AGD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliveH Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I remember an engineer friend telling me of a garage door mechanic telling him that he needed a more powerful motor on his power garage door because 1/2 hp was obviously not enough and so he recommended a 1/4 hp model. My friend queried this and was told on a knowledgable way that "4 was bigger than 2". Even after explaining fractions to the mechanic, he was having none of it. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
