Mods, I dont know if I've put this in the right section. If I haven't, please move it and slap me on the wrist!

If you are at the ATM you are vulnerable to being mugged when you walk away. Take your bank card in a little booklet, then, when you are looking at your balance, stand back a little, put your hands on your hips, sigh really loudly and shake your head, in a an exaggerated way. When you get your money out, quickly slip it into the book (so that no-one can see you do it), and walk away looking cross and upset, shaking your head.

Anyone watching will think you have not been able to get any money out, thus leaving you less likely to get mugged!

To stop this problem I have invented a portable ATM to stop the threat of being mugged. What's brilliant about it is that you don't even need a card reducing still further the risk of being attacked. Made out of leather it fits neatly into your trouser pocket or purse. Anytime you want to get your cash out you find a secure spot open the stud fastening and extract the amount you need and what's more you will not be charged for your withdrawl. All you need to do is pop in to your nearest branch and fill your portable ATM once a week Safe, hassle free and fun. Miniminch's new portable ATM only £54.95.

PM me for details!!!:thumbsup:

Well my ATM is better than your ATM, so there!

Mine actually cooks, irons, vacuums etc, and moves under her own steam wherever I go.:thumbsup:

@ last, a bloke that takes money off his missus....women have been doing that to us for so long that it is almost a public offence and no doubt I will be slandered for talking about the opposite....

I have a cold can of lager waiting for you in my fridge...I think this man deserves some respect...

I tried this last night - only I genuinely couldn't get any money out! What ATM do recommend I use? Yours sounds much better than mine! :heyhey:

Yeah, but like a real ATM, I have to put the bloody money in there in the first place.:( :(

You just knew there'd be a catch lads, didn't you!:nod: :mad:

As for not getting mugged, i find that being that being 6'4" works kinda well. :P
