16 April - Expensive money for sale

Something that grabbed my attention on Hugh Neal’s Maggot Sandwich last weekend (third paragraph) was his observation that the number of empty shops on Bexleyheath Broadway had declined.

Broadway BroadwayWhat I have noticed over the past year is the number of pawn and loan shops that appear to thrive in Bexleyheath.

Bright House, as Hugh has himself noted in the past, appears to prey on the poor with attractive offers on domestic appliances and other essential household goods accompanied by horrendous interest charges. A sort of retail Wonga. Maybe Bexleyheath is not as prosperous as some politicians would have you believe.
