About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.

I don’t remember the one at the Rotunda, but the first automated cashpoint in Brum was at the Natwest at Fiveways, next door to the Business Link building.
You could only get £10 and the process was quite complicated involving a cardboard punchcard type thing which was then returned by post. Banks were open only on weekdays until 3pm, and there was no such thing as cashback in shops, so it was rather useful.
