He has also just told me i just got travel insurance, card cover and discounted loans for being a gold account customer?0

Based on a newspaper report from the launch in 1998 you got:
Travel insurance for you and partner (at £96 a year it was a little cheaper than a similar annual policy) - for 30 day long trips
Commission free currency / traveller's cheque purchases
No fee if £1000 a month balance was left in the account
legal and medical help while abroad
Fee-free gold credit card
Card protection
Purchase protection (120 days cover against loss or damage)
Extended warranties
I cannot find any mention of car breakdown or phone coverSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

Out of interest i have read it appears lloyds introduced first packaged account in 1997. Was this the silver account and did that have mobile insurance and car breakdown at that time? I remember having an account with them features around them dates and thought was gold but maybe it wasnt!0

Highly unlikely the cheaper package would offer more
At the time you are talking about the main ones (Royal Bank's Royalties, Lloyds Gold, Barclays Additions, NatWest Advantage1 and TSB Select) did not offer car breakdown or mobile insuranceSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
