HSBC - The World's Local Bank.
I live in Alfreton. One day when I was due to catch a train to Sheffield from Alfreton station I didn't have time to get to the Alfreton branch of HSBC to pay salary cheques into some employees' accounts, so I thought I'd just pay them in at a branch in Sheffield.
So I popped into the branch at 251 Fullwood Road, Sheffield and handed over the cheques.
The girl at the counter said, "Ooohh, you can't do that here, you have to do it at your own branch".
I invited her to swivel her seat around and read out to me what it said in large red letters on the wall behind her (something about "The World's Local Bank").
She fetched her manager.
We had a conversation.
They took the cheques.
Last July they closed the Alfreton Branch.
They still haven't implemented DNSSEC for their domains.
