Paying in a large cheque...

[d000hg]

I keep the larger sums in a different account which I can transfer from in a matter of seconds... and my current account provider text me if I go overdrawn and give me until the end of the day as a grace period before charging any fees (maybe that's a rule in the UK these days?)

Frankly, I get nervous if my current account dips below five figures. A few hundred is what you carry in your wallet. Swiss culture is rather different!

Guy goes into a Swiss bank with a briefcase. He goes up to the teller.
Customer: (In a whisper) I'd like to open an account and I've got my initial deposit here.
Teller: No problem. How much would you like to pay in today?
Customer: (Still whispering) Four million francs*
Teller: Certainly sir. And by the way, there's no need to whisper. Poverty isn't shameful in Switzerland.



* (that's ~£3M)

Got the impression when in Zurich a couple of month ago the people found it expensive themselves. Hear plenty of stories of folks crossing into the German border to shop in Aldi or wherever.

It's great from a tax perspective.

Made the mistake of leaving my DE mobile on roaming. Data was €1 for 50KB , €50 credit got wiped off in seconds when I accidentally checked my e-mail.

The reason rich people stay rich is they don't waste money on little things.

After all the guests won't know it's from Aldi but the dog will.

Simple, put £150K on man city to beat Celtic tomorrow night, pick up £60K profit on Thursday morning and take a few weeks off

Like that bet on Senegal v France?

The betting shops must have a limit, no?

Can't you just nip downstairs and ask?

Good tip. The idea of having several hundred thousand in my current account is rather scary! I think I've an account that has no debit card at all I use for intra-year savings so it could just go there.

Sigh.


Look - just transfer it over to me once you've paid it in, and I'll look after it for you.


Happy to help.

So what? Just because something isn't life or death doesn't mean you don't need to sort it out.
