Over the years I have had a suspicion that the more money you had in your bank account, the quicker these machines paid out. Well, recently, having entrusted the Royal Bank with a small infusion of mah money - something I rarely do as I've never trusted the fekkers efter losing ma money oan their crap shares when under the proprietorship of Fekking Goodwin - I withdrew a modest £30 and I barely had enough time to pocket the card before the pound notes flew out of the machine.
Have others experienced this? The machine was next door to a chandlery (I merely add this so that the eejit who moans that this forum is only fer boaters will give it a rest but, you never know, it might be relevant)

Re: Cash machines
I vaguely remember trying to get cash out of the interactive tourist info display in Loch Maddy or Boisedale on the way to the hotel.....
Does that count?
