Easiest bank to request cheque book from?

Lloyds used to allow you to order a cheque book by sending them an SMS message. Not sure if they still do, I last ordered one in 2010 and I'm still only a third of the way through it!

RBS and Lloyds you do it via the automated option. 

RBS and Nat West will allow you to do it online provided it's a replacement cheque book.
If it's your first cheque book then a branch visit with ID is required.

You can also request your first cheque book via chat - I didn't need to go to a branch

Lloyds copy and paste -

"You can order a new cheque book in the following ways:

• Online Use our Self Service form: Select "Current Accounts" from the menu, then "Order a cheque or paying-in book". For security reasons, note that if you've changed your address within the last 3 months, you'll need to order your cheque book either in branch or by calling us.
• By SMS You can order your cheque book by sending a text message from your mobile phone. Find out more at Ordering by SMS.
• In branch Use our branch locator to find your nearest branch.
• By phone Call 0345 3000 000 with your account details ready and order over the phone."

Quaint or not, they do still have their uses.
