The Anonymous Widower

Julian Knight Hits Two Targets With One Stone

I have a trawl looking for peer-to-peer lending stories and it picked up this article in the Independent by Julian Knight.

He starts by giving an excellent review of peer-to-peer lending and the broadening of financial services in general, saying it is broader in the United States. He concludes by saying.

This, I’d argue, is one of the reasons why in the US they are more entrepreneurial and start-ups get a chance to, well, start up.

He then goes on to talk about some of my least favourite people; chuggers. This his concluding paragraph.

The town of Shrewsbury blazed a trail by banning these individuals last year and now we seem finally to be consigning chuggers to the same place as the likes of the squeegee merchants.

Incidentally, a chugger at the Angel last week, virtually chased me into the road.  If there’d been a policeman about, I’d have made a complaint. On the other hand, life is too short.

I shall follow Julian in future.
