LONDON, June 2 (UPI) -- Millions of British bank customers were turned away from cash machines empty-handed after systems crashed Friday.

The Royal Bank of Scotland, which owns Natwest, had its cards and all RSB services up and working as of Saturday afternoon, but engineers were still furiously working away trying to fix Natwest's Internet and telephone banking network, BBC reported.

"We are very sorry, and we're working to sort it out," a bank spokesman told the BBC.

The cause of the technological snafu was not immediately clear.

Expect service interruptions.

Of course you would never stoop to taking a bribe. Could you sell me a deeply out-of-the-money option?

Just think when they pull the plug here all of the yuppies who will try to swipe their card and nothing happens. Imagine the looks of surprise and disgust. ;0)

In Argentina, when the ATMs stopped dispensing, there was first anger, then vandalism, then riots. I would not be surprised to find the same reactions here, if the ATMs didn't come back on over a period of several days.

It would be similar to a recent incident in NC where an ATM came up missing. It seems as though a tractor was used to pull it from its mounts and hauled away. The cops found the machine a mile away but the guts were gone from it (that's where the funny munny is). And to think these clods want a cashless society.
