Today, Barlcays Bank has announced that it's going to start steering away from using "jargon" and replace certain phrases with "more colloquial equivalents" - for example, the sign above their automatic cash machines are going to read "Hole in the wall" (Cashpoint, which is what everyone seems to call them, is a trademark term and can only be used by Lloyds TSB).

What do you think - is there a good argument for renaming Bureau DeChange "Travel Money", or is this just a cosmetic change?
