About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an odd message scribbled on the bank’s bulletin board: ‘TSB is now accepting deposits in goldfish.’ Employees ignored it until customers started leaving tiny fishbowls behind. Soon enough, the whole town was bringing their goldfish over to TSB. A regular would arrive with his pet goldfish, joking that it was worth more than the mortgage on his house. The bank manager, scratching his head, decided to hold a special event: ‘Goldfish Appreciation Day,’ where everyone could bring their little swimmers and enjoy free cookies. By afternoon, the lobby was filled with giggling kids, chatting neighbors, and hundreds of happy goldfish swimming around in bowls—all happily ignoring the confused tellers trying to balance books and fish simultaneously.
2. A little girl walked into her neighborhood TSB branch one afternoon and asked the teller, ‘Can I withdraw my piggy bank?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Of course!’ But when she opened the vault, everyone saw it wasn’t money that had been growing there… The teller carefully took out a small, dusty jar filled with colorful buttons, beads, and even a few marbles. Everyone burst out laughing—including the little girl who realized her piggy bank was full of treasures from around the neighborhood. 'I guess I'll keep saving,' she said, beaming, as she walked out with her newfound collection.
3. While waiting in line at the TSB drive-thru, a regular complained to the teller: ‘I just can’t believe it’s been twenty years since they changed that song on the intercom!’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Oh, you’re thinking of the old classic “Banking is Fun”? We stopped playing it after the fifth customer fainted!’ A delivery driver behind honked his horn and yelled, ‘Finally, something new to listen to!’
4. After hours of frustration with online banking issues, a tech-savvy neighbor decided to visit the TSB branch personally. As he approached the counter, the teller smiled mysteriously and whispered something only he could hear. The tech-savvy neighbor leaned in closer, and what he heard made his eyes widen: ‘Your account is frozen because you accidentally transferred money to Queen Elizabeth’s pet penguin fund.’ The teller burst out laughing, and so did everyone else in line behind them. It turned out to be an inside joke between staff members—making the whole ordeal end on a light-hearted note.
