TSB Bank Granby Street Leicester, New But Old Bank, Photographs
Its a long time since I have seen anyone apart from me using monitors that old. my large screen broke.
I wonder why the bank is using old computer screens. I remember when the TSB was around the first time I was about sixteen they were one of the first banks to use computers. Posting these picture reminded me of how I became a TSB customer many years ago.
At the time Barclays were still using micro film to view daily account balances. I was a customer of Barclays they had ATM's and they were great because they were only updated daily and if they told you inside the branch a few days before pay day you had no money, you just popped outside and withdrew a few pounds there were no big bank charges back then just a letter in the post telling you off. And there were no Wonga outfits ripping people off either.
I must have done it once too many times because one day I withdrew the money and the manager tapped me on the shoulder would you like to pop inside for a chat he said.
Back then banks had real managers and if some one tapped you on the shoulder at a ATM today
you would probably call the police or run.
Anyway he made me pay in the money and close my account!
I had to find another bank, I tried Lloyds I was not posh enough.
So I had to make do with the TSB the bank that liked to say Yes! to anything...
I stayed until they merged with Lloyds and became LloydsTSB.
I can remember how unhappy some Lloyds staff were to be teaming up with
the Tin Soldiers Bank.
I wonder if any of those staff still remain to see the de-merger? a happy time for them.
I banked with Weatherby's I have no money now and make do with NatWest
