the funny thing they exist! When visiting dartford town centre, its quite easy to drive down the high street and pull up next to cash machines and get your money out. In theory its pedestrianised but with vehicular access at night you can be as lazy as you like.

- but I know what would happen to me if they had drive-through cash machines:

Please take your card...

...and wait for your...oh st!

Cue person behind me helping themselves to my £20. I've got a nasty habit of doing that!

They have drive through cash machines in the USA...in alot of the "middle" states (ones you've never heard of, like Iowa). Brilliant idea!!!

It must just be lack of space here.

Very funny tho - sorry to get all serious!

They've got them in Dublin - saw them way back in 1992! What a brilliant idea, how often do you find it immpossible to park the car, get to the cash point all for the sake of withdrawing £50?
