Anyone remember these old bank commercials?

I always thought these ads were very cleverly done from Halifax.

I remember that as a kid. What year was that?

Well the central logo at the start was from around 1982/3 I believe.

The actual advert itself would have to be a few years beyond that though as i was born in 1983.

I'm guessing the advert itself is somewhere around 1990, +/- 2yrs, so i'll say 1988-1992.

The big Halifax X came in around 1988. But I think the adverts started in 1991, possibly 1992. They disappeared after they merged with Leeds in 1995.

Tried to find a wedding cake advert too but no sign of it on YouTube. Baby Spice (pre-fame) stood on top of the cake. Similar time to the Moon River one which I've also failed to unearth.
