50 years ago as a scared 17 year old I rang the bell at High Street Coventry branch. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would work for Midland/HSBC for 35 years and 1 day retiring on 13th July 2006. I met some wonderful people and made life long friends. Many happy memories and laughs along the way. As my fiends in Coventry would say I could write a book.
