Another time I wanted to withdraw a somewhat larger sum from my account, because I was going to look at a car with a good chance of buying it (£1,500, so not exactly an absolute fortune).

No, I would have needed to have given them three working days' notice that I was going to withdraw such a large sum. All they would give me over the counter was the same amount as the ATM limit outside.

That's interesting.  I went into the bank a few weeks back to draw out £1,800 to buy the i-Miev and they gave it to me over the counter no questions asked - they did ask to see photo ID though.
