They could do a Scouse one that comes up with "Ey der la', yer not from round 'ere ah ya?" when you ask for some cash and it could offer to sell you a stolen iPhone at the same time.

Very fitting seeing that the first UK ATM was opened by Reg Varney in Enfield:

On 27 June 1967, the world's first voucher based cash dispensing machine was installed at the Enfield Town branch of Barclays Bank. Varney lived in Enfield at the time and for publicity purposes he was photographed making the first withdrawal from the machine.[3]
