    TSB exists because Lloyds TSB Scotland had a change of name.
    Yeah, no.

    The reason the TSB exists is because the Co-op had a £1.5bn hole in their finances.

    Because the branch network that now form the TSB should have been sold to the Co-op, until the Co-op noticed £1.5bn missing from their accounts.

    It was always planned to change its name to TSB even if the sale went ahead. I don't think there was a timescale to turn it all to coop, if they decided to take that route.
