All very true, and pretty obvious when you stop to think about it, but when we went to the bank looking for a loan, it didn't occur to us that we were going to talk to a sales person. Having never taken out a loan before, I thought that it was all serious business where the bank is this stogy old place that wants to protect its money and we would need to beg for the money from old Mr. Potter.
