That is something that would not be easily recognised, and you're definitely onto something here. It's not really very fair on the customer at all, but if the banks/mortgage lenders can get away with it then they will continue to do it. Well spotted!

That and taking everything for granted. We can just go and buy things that we want and need, and chuck them away when we don't want them anymore. It's all a bit too easy! One of my biggest hates is food being wasted, I cannot bear it! I am actively trying not to waste food, or buy too much of it in the first place, as that is what leads to waste. One cause we should all have a read about and join if we agree with their stand is the Robin Hood Tax. Google it, it's very interesting! Barry Greed is definitely one of the bigger issues here.

At the moment, we have lots of vouchers available from the big national brands and we are working hard to secure local content. Cities such as London, Brighton, Bristol, Bath, Nottingham, Derby, Cardiff and Birmingham should have a large selection with the other major cities growing by the day.
