So I wasn't expecting much from Axminster, being as the branches are normally variations on a theme in all towns. It was quite a surprise therefore to find the biggest, brightest, most well-cared for bank in Axminster (we visited Natwest and HSBC too on the same morning). We popped in for a current account balance. This was dealt with straight away by a very polite and thorough cashier. As we didn't normally bank at this branch, the cashier asked for a signature and checked this against the debit card before the printout was handed over.
