>You wrote: hello?
>Asheesh Pant: I realise how important it must be for you to process this payment. unfortunately it could have been processed online, over the phone or at a branch, which is not a viable option for you right now. Could you confirm the name of your branch nearest to your place?
>You wrote: ummm, dalston, london?
>Asheesh Pant: I can check the branches in your vicinity where these payments can be processed.

>You wrote: I don't know where the branch is
>You wrote: and i have a bad leg
>You wrote: if you make the payment for me (on the sly) i won't tell anyone
>You wrote: it will be our secret

>Asheesh Pant: Tim, I would have gladly done it for you if I would have had the access to your account details and the provision to process this payment.
>Asheesh Pant: I do not have access to your account information due to security reasons to process the payment at my end.
>You wrote: what are we going to do?
>Asheesh Pant: Tim, I can assist you with the contact details of all the branches in your vicinity. This will help you decide the most convenient option.

>You wrote: OK then. I hope they won't mind me being a frightful bother on a Saturday.
>Asheesh Pant: Tim, we value your association with us. The branch representative will be happy to assist you.
>Asheesh Pant: The nearest branch I could find was at Hackney. Will that be fine with you.
>You wrote: yes. please let me have the details of the representative who represents the Hackney branch.

>You wrote: my poor leg!
>You wrote: I'll NEVER forgive that dog for eating my pin sentry
>You wrote: what a fuss this all is
>Asheesh Pant: I can understand how cumbersome it must be for you to visit a branch in the condition that you are in. I wish you a speedy recovery. The Hackney branch is open until 4pm today.

>You wrote: oh that's a good idea. will keep this one well away from that naughty dog
>Asheesh Pant: Thank you for being generous and considerate with your observation about me.
>You wrote: honestly, you don't see me trying to log in to barclays online with his bone, so I don't see why he should chew my pin sentry

>Asheesh Pant: I hope the dog will realise his folly the next time.
>You wrote: well it's his loss, since it was his account I was trying to transfer all this money to.
>You wrote: Right, I'd better be going. I've got water aerobics in half an hour.
