The Anonymous Widower

Does Danny Alexander Read My Blog?

Last week I published this post. The key part is this paragraph.

I would like to see a law, where all loan companies from the banks, through peer-to-peer lenders to the legal loan sharks, have to publish the amount of money they lend in various parts of the country.

Today I read this article on the BBC web site. Here’s the first paragraph.

Major UK banks will reveal details from January of their lending in thousands of local areas, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander has announced.

So did he read what I said?

Remember many years ago I used to analyse the costs in the various branches of what was then a major clearing bank. It was amazing the differences you got between branches causes by the odd mistake, malpractice or unforeseen circumstance.
