About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a regular customer was withdrawing money from NatWest, he overheard an odd conversation between two employees. ‘Did you see that guy in the red suit yesterday?’ asked one. ‘No,’ replied the other, ‘but I heard he’s been hanging around here every day.’ The customer looked down and noticed… nothing unusual. Suddenly, a delivery driver arrived with a large box marked ‘Santa’s Secret Gifts’. Everyone laughed when they saw it, but no one dared ask what was inside. Later that week, the same customer received a package containing a bottle of whisky and a note: “Merry Christmas from your friendly neighborhood Santa!”

2. A few days after moving into the neighborhood, a new resident went to NatWest to open an account. While filling out paperwork, she noticed something odd—every time she signed her name, the pen seemed to write slightly off-center. Finally, when she asked the teller about it, everyone burst out laughing—they were using a pen with a wonky nib! Since then, whenever someone mentions that branch, people joke that it’s the only place where your signature can never be quite right.

3. On a particularly foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to NatWest with a mysterious package marked ‘urgent’. As he approached the counter, the teller’s voice echoed eerily through the misty lobby. ‘Open it here,’ said the teller in a whisper. The driver hesitated, then carefully broke the seal. Inside was a small box wrapped in ribbon, addressed to ‘The Bank Manager.’ When they opened it, out popped a live goldfish and a note reading: “For your urgent transaction.” Everyone burst into laughter, including the confused fish.

4. In a small town in the Midwest, a little girl named Emma often accompanied her grandmother on shopping trips. One day, as they approached NatWest, she pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Grandma, look! The ATM is winking at us!’ Her grandmother smiled warmly, replying, 'Emma, that's just the light reflecting off the screen.' They both laughed, and as they walked away, Emma turned back with a mischievous glint in her eye—was it possible that the ATM was blushing?
