Yeh, for context, back in 1990 I was planning to travel to Peru and wanted to work out how to get funds in an emergency.
My bank manager (at a big Central London branch in Oxford St.) invited me in for a chat and a cup of tea, and we worked out how best to do things. I think I still have the letter from him that gives the the number I should telex too if needed, together with code name I should address the telex to. He was a avid bird watcher and was interested in talking about what I would be seeing in the rainforest.
I rather miss those days. I was a 22 year old with moderate means. There was no reason for him to give me special treatment.
