    Very fitting seeing that the first UK ATM was opened by Reg Varney in Enfield:

    On 27 June 1967, the world's first voucher based cash dispensing machine was installed at the Enfield Town branch of Barclays Bank. Varney lived in Enfield at the time and for publicity purposes he was photographed making the first withdrawal from the machine.[3]

            He was an actor, a thespian! He could probably produce numerous accents on demand.
