Working for Lloyds Bank was my first job it was personal we knew all the customers by first name.

It was back in day when back managers really was bank managers and not glorified sales staff.

However in some respects it was too personal because if the bank manager did not like you then you missed out on the goodies likes loans and overdrafts. I remember a situation where I went into Lloyds and requested a £150.00 temp overdraft. It was agreed.

I paid it back and then requested a perm overdraft and the reply from the assistant manager was "if it was up to me there would not be a problem", but the manager does not like you.

I hasten to add this is going back to 1984.

Lloyds used to have a nice exclusive upper class feel to it before then.

Have a look at my other post. They've done me proud today, whereas LTSB practically told me to take my business elsewhere. So I did
