How long did he stick around for?
Visitors to our Facebook page have had their say on our story after a man glues himself to a table in Natwest bank after being unable to access account to pay staff:
■ Andrew Harrison: How long did he stick around for? Sounds like he’s set in his ways. Hope the police managed to ‘solvent’ it out.
■ Nadya Morciano: Shut shop and go home, leave him there all night. He’ll soon be hungry or need the loo.
■ Timothy Robinson: I’ve always thought that bank was a bit sticky.
■ Kevin Newton: At least he as the guts to do it. Sometimes you get to the end of your tether, when nobody in authority will take no notice.
■ Ian Newman: I’d stick to his day job if I was him.
■ Elliott Barker: Must have been a premium bond.
■ Lee Staples: Just pull his hand away from the desk and send him on his way. Acting like this isn’t going to resolve his situation.
■ Annemarie Samuels: Is this act of gluing yourself to inanimate objects going to replace the usual getting on a roof top and smashing some tiles?
■ Mel Robertson: The man in question was in a sticky situation.
■ Cathryn Cribb: Banks not allowing people to take their own money out. He has bills and staff to pay. Sign of the times.
■ Alan Tommo Thompson: He went for a loan and they told him to stick around.
■ Merv Hutson: New kind of stickup.
■ Paul Forrington: Should have charged him with wasting police time and the cost of the table. They should carry it out and let him have it if he like’s that table so much. Soon change his tune after a couple of hours sat in the street.
■ Claire Martin: I don’t think he should be charged with wasting police time, he’s clearly having an episode where he needs community support. They’re also here to help and stop an incident from escalating.
■ Jasmine Dawson: Maybe if people knew the situation they would understand.
■ Dave Mason: Wouldn’t it have made more sense if he glued himself to the roof of the bank? Thereby using two well-known forms of protest at the same time? Double the exposure!
■ Brian Barker: Last week he recommended gorilla glue, and this week he is still sticking to it.
■ Laura Rushby: Hope he doesn’t do a deposit whilst stuck there.
■ Katie Tagg-Pound: He’s glued himself because there is a problem with his business account.
■ Becky Cook: What a sticky situation to be in.
■ Jono Berridge: Why does gluing yourself to objects seem to fix everything? From climate change to inflation and mortgage prices and general living ,what will these people do when the price of glue goes through the roof?
■ Andrew Thompson: Never has there been a stickier situation since sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun.
■ Lorraine Smith: Just pour nail varnish remover over the stuck area. It will come straight off and won’t do him or the furniture any harm.
