It's faintly amusing, but to my ear, a little too much like Dick Van Dyke's "cock-er-nee" in Mary Poppins rather than what you might hear around E1/E13.
Would any of the US-based MIA-ers like to offer what they'd expect to see if such was performed on their local ATMs?

[small]Sometimes you gotta leave your zone of safety. You have to manufacture Inspirado. You gotta get out of the apartment. You've got to run with the wolves. You've got to dive into the ocean and fight with the sharks. Or just treat yourself to a delicious hot fudge sundae........ with nuts. - Jack Black[/small]
