Another High Street Rebrand
The Lloyds brand wont operate in Scotland, all Lloyds TSB Scotlands will become TSB. Lloyds will operate the Bank of Scotland brand, and more or less offer the same services.JAS84 wrote:Blue eh? So that branch will be a TSB, I assume? A Lloyds would be green.

Hate to disagree but from a local persons perspective living on the outskirts of Bristol not far from "The Mall at Cribbs Causeway", ever since it opened in 1998 I have always referred to it as just "The Mall". Most people I know refer to it as that also.cwathen wrote:If we end up with 'Intu Bristol' that'll be an interesting situation indeed, as nobody ever calls it by it's current name, let alone a rebranded one; 'The Mall' in Bristol is universally referred to as 'Cribbs Causeway' with the general unwashed genuinely believing that's what it's called, when 'Cribbs Causeway' is actually a blanket brand for the entire area, of which 'The Mall' is only a small part. Even the official website has to refer to it as 'The Mall at Cribbs Causeway' for clarity and uses mallcribbs.com as a URL.thegeek wrote:Curiously, so has Bristol's The Mall - not to be confused with any of The Mall Company's's The Malls.Andrew wrote:Midsomer Place in Milton Keynes seems to have escaped the rebrand, from looking at the intu website.
If I am going to "The Retail Park" (Currys PC World, Argos etc), "The Venue" (Vue Cinema, Hollywood Bowl etc), or Asda, I say I'm going to "Cribbs Causeway".
"The Mall", "The Retail Park" and "The Venue" all share the same bird logo made up of the two C's from Cribbs Causeway, apart from "The Mall" having a blue background, "The Retail Park" having a green background and "The Venue" having a purple background.
I don't think "The Mall Cribbs Causeway" would ever be rebranded as "Intu Bristol" because Cribbs Causeway isn't actually in Bristol. It is in South Gloucestershire. I would imagine it would take on the name "Intu Cribbs Causeway".
"The Mall Galleries" and later "The Mall Bristol" were names given to the shopping centre in central Bristol, originally called "The Galleries", when it was bought by "The Mall Company" in the 00's. "The Mall Company" later sold the shopping centre in 2011 and the name "The Galleries" was restored.
As mentioned earlier "The Mall Cribbs Causeway" and "The Mall Company" which owned "The Galleries" for a while have no connection at all.
You can see why having shopping centres called "The Mall Bristol" and another called "The Mall Cribbs Causeway" both operating in the Greater Bristol area at the same time caused confusion.
"Cabot Circus" (originally to be called "Merchants Quarter", but changed before launch due to objections raised about it's links to the slave trade) is a separate shopping centre from "The Galleries" and "Broadmead' in the centre of Bristol.
Collectively "Cabot Circus", "The Galleries" and "Broadmead" now market themselves as the "Bristol Shopping Quarter" http://www.bristolshoppingquarter.co.uk

Given that all the Lloyds Banking Group branches have closed this afternoon, to reopen on Monday in new livery, shouldn't we have a new thread ready to go on Monday morning, locked by the administrator, to open automatically at 9am Monday?
We need to keep up with the other place, you know!

I got my Welcome to TSB letter the other day. Have Lloyds ones gone out too?

If we're keeping up with the other place the thread will need to opened manually at around half 10 as everyone has slept in by mistake, or a few minutes early with the site crashing just before 9am...Nick Harvey wrote: open automatically at 9am Monday?
