M: Uh, a year and a half at least, I’m doing an MA at the polytechnic. W: I sec. Well, you need to be hem for more than six months to open any account. Now if you want to open a current account with a cheque book, you must be over 18. M: I'm well over that. Unfortunately. W: Never mind! You'll need to come hi and fill in a form. and show some identity. I mean identification. M: You mean a passport or credit card? W: Urn, a credit card wouldn't be any good. A passport would be fine, or a driving licence. M: That sounds fine. W: Oh, and you'd need to give us a couple of specimen signatures and some kind of financial reference from an employer or your university. M: Right. How long does it take before I get my cheque book and everything? W: Oh, it's quite quick really. A week or so. M: Good, and is the bank open all day? W: From 9 to 3 Monday to Friday and 9 to 12 on Saturday. M: Thank you very much. W: You're welcome. (23)
