I was patiently (okay, I'm lying - impatiently!) waiting in the queue at Seacliff to withdraw some much-needed cash from the ATM yesterday. For some reason, the person at the booth was taking an age and a day to complete the transaction. I was about to go into 'silent curse mode' when he came out and announced that the machine was out of service.
The guy standing behind me rolled his eyes and said "now we have to do the ATM hop". A non Dar-ian would have gone 'huh?' but I knew exactly what he was talking about.
We would all have to go to the next ATM to get our money. If our luck was bad, it wouldn't be working either and if our luck was really bad, neither would the next and the next.....
Hence the ATM Hop.
Inexplicably, the ATMs in Dar (around the Peninsular anyway) seem to go AWOL at the same time. Go figure!
