Just flicked the telly above my monitor on. It's that time of day for us pensioners...you know...Countdown, a pot of tea and a Gypsy Cream.
Anyway I came in the middle of an advert for a money shop. A very attractive girl giving out the speil and 3 or 4 highly delighted ' customers ' clutching wads of £20 notes...advanced against their next paycheque or giro.
I wonder what the interest rates are on that little lot.
I suppose it's targeting desparate people who probably know no better.
I assume the service is not free, so, to me, this puts these firms in the category of ' Loansharks ', opening premises in the High Street to give an air of respectability !
