“crickfan - Given that render is similar to plaster then there may be a clue in the title. If, on the other hand, it was an assault then cue Toxteth's finest plastic super hero to wreak vengeance..........”

There's the answer, it seems the UK banks have introduced neurological forcefields as a security measure. Simply getting too near a bank results in being whacked by a stream of magnetized ions which subtly alter the magnetic field in the brain, causing a brief 'blackout' period. This is simply a measure introduced to stop anyone attempting to withdraw money from a bank.

“It seems quite a few people are saying they were approaching people they thought they recognised before they have been hit or rendered unconscious. I think to be on the safe side this Christmas I'll avoid anyone I think I might recognise in the Pub or street, I might even give a wide birth to those I do know. Can't be too careful.”
