Just a couple of days ago I was in E17 with my new apprentice (yes, you may call me Lord Dodder-Hodder-Fodder) and we were looking at a potential new office space for Fraud Consulting, #TheFraudTube and ‽ [Interrobang] Media… At lunchtime we popped out for something to eat at a cafe on the high street. It was a strange experience as I was not expecting to see a menu written in Russian (or perhaps Bulgarian, or some other Cyrillic based language). The waitress was odd and basically didn’t speak English and service was minimal, but the food was OK.
Following lunch we both needed to obtain some cash. The first cash point we found was one that charges – no thanks… the next one was possibly the most bizarre (and entertaining) cash point I have ever seen in my life. I shall say no more and let you come to your own conclusions based upon the following photos (taken in rather a hurry as there was a queue forming to use the machine):
