A free bit of advice for all UK banks. Why not superimposed images of British WW2 personalities of our voting discretion like Guy Gibson, Douglas Bader, Eric Lock,  and the like.

I think it would resonate with people over 50 years of age and who likely  have the most money to spend.

 

No thanks.  I am well over 50 and it wouldn't resonate for me at all.  If my bank did anything so ridiculous I'd be switching to a different bank.

And how about younger customers, who most likely would never have heard of these personalities?  In fact, I've only heard of Douglas Bader, -I don't know who Guy Gibson or Eric Lock were.

This is not a post to troll The BBC lovers or the Guardian readership, I honestly believe it would be a great idea for the Banks to retain loyal membership.

Could have other themes Like literature, science, or inventors. Royal mail does it so why not the banks. Come on people give this a thumbs up.

 

How about this?

Guy Gibson was the Dam Buster. I will need to look up Eric Lock.

Who is "us" exactly ? Don't you remember those posters in the 70's about picking up litter ? I think the general theme was having pride in Britain. Look at the mess of our country today.
