The man in the stovepipe hat

I have been inspired by correspondence over my encounter in the early 1990s with the phenomenon known as the ‘black stick man’ to write today about a much earlier experience. If the story of the black stick man freaked you out and gave you bad dreams, don’t read this entry because it relates the true story of an apparition even scarier and definitely malevolent towards those who encounter it. This is the story of how myself and many others met the man in the stovepipe hat. He’s dangerous and if you ever see him, run.

His alternative proposals of 'Lloyds is rubbish', 'Barclays is better' and 'censorship' were all refused. The man is still trying to find a password acceptable to the bank, although it has apologised. Could the bank look any more pathetic right now?
