Tuesday……mobile bank day! by happypat

Tuesday……mobile bank day!

This mobile bank has been coming to Garstang every Tuesday for a couple of years at least.
I’m not a member of Lloyds Bank but would be pleased if I was.
We have only one bank now & good old Nationwide.

You can also see that massive polar bear which moves & lights up at night.
In my opinion it’s horrid but the kids like it apparently so who am I to grumble.
I think a nice big tree would look far nicer although in the High street there is a lovely tree.
I only hope it’s safe as if it fell over it would do a good bit of damage.

Taken outside Booths.
When we ran our shop in Mevagissey, the mobile bank came on a Wednesday (NatWest)....it was always very busy with shopkeepers banking and paying bills.

What a great idea!

It looks like a wet and miserable day there, like it was here. I think Nationwide is the only bank left here too, but we like them. You're lucky to have a mobile bank!

@busylady My bank is the Nationwide but not our joint account. The nearest one of them is 10 miles away at least.

@cutekitty @casablanca A great relief for local businesses.

So good to have a mobile bank when all else seem to disappear from out towns !As for the bear !!! I thought it was some sort of a statue wrapped in cling film or similar , and to be unveiled at a later date !!Is the red railings a permanent fixture too !! I am with you Pat !!

What a great idea

What a good idea, the mobile bank that is, not the rather odd idea of a polar bear
December 13th, 2023  
I think the polar bear is rather odd! Not festive at all! I wonder whom came up with that one?!

@floralchick It’s all shiny too, very false looking! It’s creepy & tacky in my opinion!

@beryl It’s standing in the seating area too…I was going to comment on the local community website but when I looked I thought better of it as lots saying the kids loved it so I thought no keep quiet! 🤣🤣

A great idea, getting to speak to a banking human is near impossible these days!

Interesting

Wow... how interesting. I've never heard of such a thing.

I am with you Pat. I think I would prefer a nice Christmas tree to this polar bear.
December 14th, 2023  
That bear looks kind of gloppy! Tree would be much nicer, in my opinion also.

Mobile bank 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Polar Bear ????

Great idea to bring the bank to your doorstep than having to go yourself and wait until you are served. Lovely street shot.

Interesting!

Our post office caters for most of my banking needs which is great but it's good to have these mobile banks.
December 14th, 2023  
The way things are progressing, I think we'll see more of these mobile banks
December 14th, 2023  
It's good that the Nationwide has remained a mutual , all those conversions to banks in the 80s was a disgrace
