Chatting to a mate this morning about financial matters and I mentioned I'll talk to my bank manager in the cupboard. Being younger, he hadn't seen this very old advert.
Does anyone remember it and which bank/building society it was for?

I remember it, but I was only little and used to be scared when my mum used to open my wardrobe door, i expected this man to pop out...

I know what you mean - some of those old ads were weird and/or frightening to youngsters

That reminded me of the recent ad for tax returns forms where poor old Moira Stuart was sitting in the cupboard under the stairs.... WHY??

So that's where Chris Evans found her!

The advert was not for a specific bank. I believe it was issued by the Association of British banks encouraging the public to open bank accounts. It was at a time when many people did not have accounts.
