Another blast from the past ... Yes, at OCTU we were 'assigned' to either C&K or Glyns alphabetically if we didn't have an extant account. I think A-N went to C&K, with whom I retain a financial relationship to this day. CBA to change - never had a problem with them. Had to use HSBC in Singapore, though, and then shuffle funds between SIN and UK, which was a right PITA.
Doubloons are a Gentleman's way of banking, although Guineas, Pandas and Eagles are also acceptable.
