Remember that Lloyds now own Bank of Scotland who do have the right colour
of logo for Rangers fans.

Actually I'm pretty sure it is Bank of Scotland that Rangers has their
account with, not Lloyds TSB.

It's all just Lloyds Banking Group now, regardless of the name and logo 
above the door of the branch.  We all have a huge stake in them as 
taxpayers as well so I say recover the debt now!  ;)

Yes, I know that Lloyds TSB, Lloyds TSB Scotland, Cheltenham & Gloucester,
Scottish Widows, AMC Bank, Hill Samuels Bank, Bank of Scotland, Halifax,
Birmingham Midshires, Automobile Association, Intelligent Finance, Norwich
Union, SAGA, St James's Place Bank, Clerical Medical and Sainsburys Bank
are all part of Lloyds Banking Group, which together with Royal Bank of
Scotland, Child & Co, Direct Line, Drummonds, First Active, Holt & Co,
Royal Bank of Scotland, Virgin Money, Natwest, Ulsterbank, Coutts & Co,
Adam & Co, National Savings, Northern Rock,  DBS Bridge Bank, the mortgage
division of Bradford & Bingley, Mortgage Express and the toxic bits of
Dunfermline Building Society are owned by us the tax payers.

My point is that it isn't just Lloyds with its green logo that any self
respecting Rangers supporter would avoid anyway.

Eh? My local Lloyds (Larkhall) has a blue logo with a rearing white 
charger. As a self respecting Rangers fan I am more than happy to bank 
there. It is an old and beautiful institition of fine colours. My father 
banked there in bygone days.

Your father would have banked with the Trustee Savings Bank which was
founded by the Rev. Henry Duncan, a Church of Scotland minister and later a
founding member of the Free Church.  It did of course have a blue logo.  So
it had perfect credentials for any self respecting Rangers fan, and indeed
anyone who wanted to keep their money safe.

The TSB then took over Lloyds, one of the big four banks in England in the
late 1990s and mostly abandoned its TSB roots.

We all know about Larkhall, but in the rest of Scotland, like for example
here

They have a green and blue logo, and in England they have kept their old
Green logo.  If you look at the posters in the window, you will see they
are mostly green.  I guess Larkhall would get special blue posters instead
of those.

Jonathan,

Ach, never mind.
