TV/radio commercial
Am I right to say a recent advert with swing music is a rehash of the song Minnie The Moocher? LJade728 22:54, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

One element that would be interesting to know about the advert is what are the benefits for the employees taking part of it? It just let me wonder? Maplefanta 02:20, 23 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.13.169 (talk)

 * As far as I can see, press attributed this forecast to "experts", regarding the merger of HBOS with Lloyds TSB. No announcement I know of.  --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 13:15, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Leeds Permanent Building Society
I'm surprised to see no mention of the leeds permanent building society in the history. Afaict the leeds was a pretty large building society by the time they merged with the halifax. Plugwash (talk) 16:29, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The Leeds Permanent Building Society has its own article. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:06, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's also mentioned in the "Demutualization" section now, with a link to the Leeds PBS page. Swanny18 (talk) 15:25, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Clearing Bank
Is halifax officially a clearing bank now? Can't find any info online about this. I know lloyds are bank of scotland are but don't think halifax is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.78.83.142 (talk) 03:59, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes it is, by virtue of its amalgamation with Lloyds. Swanny18 (talk) 15:23, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

TV Adverts, again
Is this section notable at all? The only reference I can see is about how bad they are; does that make them encyclopaedic? And the claim that they use their staff is dubious; the latest round of adverts have some familiar faces in them. Swanny18 (talk) 15:29, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
