Lestat Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Did any of you 80's kids have an account with T.S.B ( as it was known then ). My account was called the 'Jeans scheme' and my payment book was made of jeans!.. I also got some cool comics, badges & stickers etc every month. The main comic book character was a lightbulb headed thing! as I remember and I've been trying to track some of them down but without much luck. Do you remember it?

Ousetunes Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Don't remember that particular account, Lestat, but I did have a TSBeat account which came with a 10% discount card for Virgin Records (when the shop was situated on High Street). Saved me quite a bit that did. There were probably one or two other 'perks' (or if you like, gimmicks) with the account. They also used to publish a monthly magazine called 'Yes' (they being, if you recall 'the bank that likes to say "yes!"'). This was circa 1986/7. Opened my account at Crookes Road, Broomhill branch (which closed and remains boarded up). That was 21 years since and Lloyds/TSB is still my main bank.
