That'll change when the Virgin Money takeover goes through. I can't see them keeping branches of both open long term if they're close to each other. Probably the reason their promise is only to 2026, two years from now.

Nationwide's ad campaign has been banned by the ASA for claiming that they weren't closing branches when they are.

Why would a reopened store need a temporary sign? Wouldn't the old one usually only be taken down when someone else takes over the premises?

Looks like Virgin Money is going to be disappearing over the next few years. Nationwide strikes deal to buy Virgin Money for £2.9bn My debit card is due for renewal in 2026, after the previous Yorkshire Bank one was replaced early due to the rebrand. I wonder if this one will also end up being repl...

Nothing wrong with the policy though. If it has the TV Ark logo on it for example, and it's not from TV Ark or it's associated social media channels, then of course it should be removed. That watermark they use is there for a reason.

I’m not convinced anyone actually bought pick n mix from Woolworths to be honest. It was just there. You'd be lucky to get a look in for a scoop in Nottingham on Saturdays or during half term, the place was always full of kids filling up cups on their way to the cinema and whatnot. Wilko was the sa...

Could Woolworths be revived? The operator of the German Woolworth stores has the trademark for all of Europe and is considering opening stores in the UK.
