Banking on a long career

Exactly 22 years ago today, I started my career in the world of financial services. Having been offered jobs with both Lloyds Bank (now Lloyds TSB) and Midland Bank (now part of HSBC) during the summer of 1985, I opted for the former - a decision based in the end purely on transport links, as Lloyds in Horsham was accessible to me by train. Back then, Lloyds certainly had a bit of a 'more posh than other high street banks' reputation and, arguably, was a bit stuffy and set in its ways. How things have changed! As far as my career is concerned, I never would've imagined that I would end up living and working in Scotland. It's been quite a journey, and for the most part enjoyable. I've also become friends with some truly great people along the way. To mark today's anniversary I decided to see if I could hunt down any of the old Lloyds Bank TV adverts, and see whether they would bring back any memories. A number of 'YouTube' searches later, and I present to you a few classics. Enjoy! Even though they're only from the late 80s or early 90s, they have definitely dated. Debit cards were in their infancy, and the world of internet banking was still some distance away in the future. Oh, and the final clip may no longer be relevant due to all the offshoring of customer call centres!!!
