I can't be the only one here ...

Who has heard of, and uses, building societies?

Can you believe it? They actually take receipt of cash and cheques, and in the correct circumstances dispense cash and/or cheques. It's rumoured that you can also have salaries paid in too.

Granted, there are less of them than there used to be and nowadays simply opening a basic cash deposit account takes such a frigging effort it's hardly worthwhile.
