Well, I stand corrected by both of you, but as you said wells, it doesn't appear to be happening at the same time as the TSB rebrand.

Yes, they are. Cheltenham & Gloucester appear to have got first dibs on the crap temporary signage, but there's at least one branch of Lloyds TSB I've seen with the temporary boxy signage (Sherwood, Nottingham). But that's one of the branches that's to become a TSB. In the literature sent to cu...

...what is the actual reason behind wanting to break away? That alone is the biggest thing I don't understand. Why? The story has never interested me so I have never given it much thought.
