Bend Down To Get Your Money!


'ello! 'ello! How are you then? Frightfully all right, are we? Splendid! Help yourself to a mug of coffee (or Typhoo tea) and a cream scone, why don't'cha?  Say... I'm sure you use ATMs, right? Well, here's one that helps you stay in shape...though that was not it's prime intention...

As of late March, the Sainsbury's supermarket in Basford, England, still had an operational ATM on an outside wall even though its screen and controls were only 15 inches off the ground, forcing customers to bend over or kneel down to get cash.

A Sainsbury's spokesman, shown a photo by a reporter of a user squatting "incredibly uncomfortably," said no one had complained, but that the store would look into moving the machine. 

The only explanation offered for the placement was that the store is located on a hill. [BBC News, 3-25-2014] 

Mind you, that is not the only ATM in the world with such low esteem...

Blimey! I wish Monty Python was still around. They'd have a riot with this, don't'cha think?

See ya, eh!
