But the small ones attached to the shops in housing estates tend to charge £1.90 per transaction.

I've had an HSBC current account since 1986 and I don't pay fees on it.

Of course the plastic cash machines in corner shops and lapdancing clubs charge you! But the real ones (the bank ones) don't.
I understand some people (in the ghettooooooo) might not have a bank nearby, and that is unfortunate.
