Slightly subverting the topic somewhat, but Hafod high street within Swansea was, until recently, one of the blots on the city. Now after urban regeneration grants, the whole street has been "rebranded" and now looks dead smart with uniform yet classical signage, plinths and embellishments on house doors, and being next to the Liberty Stadium and Morfa Retail Park, house prices have rocketed.

Have a wander through and take a look.

However on closer inspection in daylight I notice that the Lloyds logo is just a sticky sheet stuck over the sign so I presume it reads TSB underneath in advance of the rebrand.

Also earlier in the week, I noticed the signage changed on our Cheltenham and Gloucester branch.

Before

Now

As I've stated before that Coral bookmakers next to C&G was my parents branch of TSB before it was merged with Lloyds in the late 90s so it's going to be surreal it being back in nearly the same position after all these years.

If anyone is aware of This Water, which mainly seems to be sold in supermarkets, it now appears to be known as This Juicy Water.

I wonder if it is some dispute over the name, or they whether they wanted a more distinctive name.

It's a revert to what it was called up until six years ago.

So the Co-op aren't now going to buy the Lloyds 'Project Verde' business/branches, but they will still be branded TSB soon.

Well, it is what the old TSB called itself.

Still a tautological pleonasm though.

Damn. Had to look 'pleonasm' up before I got your very clever joke

(Always good to learn a new word)

Possibly interesting high street sights I saw in Shanghai:

Oddly, most Liverpool branches are going to TSB. As far as I can make out, only one in the whole of the city will remain in the centre. The C&G next door to it has had its new signage installed with the C&G sticker ready to be whipped off. Most Lloyds TSB branches have also now had their new signage installed ready for 'TSB day'.
