I think I probably need to get out more, two posts about cash machines.
We were out in London a couple of weeks ago and had got to that point of the day needing some more money. So you would like trying to find a cash machine would be simple. Well if you know the area you are in then its probably easy, so we thought lets give the iPhone a work out and search for atm in google maps. Well it turned out there were no cash machines (according to google maps) for 3 / 4 miles. Not very helpful, let down by technology number one.
So after wondering around for alittle while we found a machine that was near a tube station, but sadly it had run out of money. So off in search of another cash machine, we asked the person in a shop and they said that there was on in the tube station. Great, run down into the tube and take one look at the machine and go mmmm that looks completely knackered. The screen had some lovely obvious error message on the screen, not quite the blue screen of death that you can see on cash machines.
So after thinking that was it I attempted one last attempt to search for a bank this time on the iPhone, success there was a HSBC near by. So using the maps and the compass (first time I’d used them together) and was able to navigate to the bank meaning we could get our cash.
Its rare to see a cash machine completely broken in the way above with strange messages. Usually they just have not working on the screen. The only other one I’ve seen broken had a great Windows NT blue screen of death on it.
