I thought this was common knowledge. Howard is deffo a real staff member who just happened to get cult status.

I knew Howard was but we are talking here about the goons on the latest ads...

I always wonder if as part of the interview process for Halifax, candidates are required to perform a song and dance routine... :-)

And some people moan about\ having to pay for tv licence. You don't get any of these ads with BBC.

I went out with a girl who worked for the Halifax a few years ago, tall, blonde, model figure and absolutely stunning to look at.

Pretty thick though, but I wasn't with her for her intellect.

She would have made a good "face" for their adverts.

I would have chuckled if it had come on in the pub when I was with my mates.....

Enfieldian, did she possess the ability to act like a total moron?;):rotfl:

They come across as real staff on an awayday to me, not genuine actors reading a rubbish script.

Yep - once I get married and have to do the great name-change-athon anyway I'm looking into shifting my account for the reasons of their changes to charges, and the fact I'm sick of the godawful adverts (mainly if I'm honest, the adverts are the final straw).

I moved from A&L because they had a similar pricing structure. I have savings accounts with Halifax, but will not now open a current account with them!

PLEASE tell me they don't act like that at work...:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Ha ha ha.

I wouldn't know about that.

Whenever i see that ad i always say i am ashamed to call those people colleagues.....

They are a complete joke and nearly as bad as Go Compare!!!

I wonder if you (or anybody) could confirm or deny the rumour I heard about Howard?

I was told that fame went to his head and he became something of a diva. When he demanded the use of a Helicopter to cope with all his personal appearances, he was told that if he didn't behave he'd be replaced with a cartoon.

Anybody?

Howard was replaced by a cartoon version wasnt he? dunno about the rest tho
