There was a one-off programme last autumn on Channel 4 called Posh Pawn which went behind the scenes on a relatively high end pawn-broker, which as FS was a new venture for us all at the time, I found very interesting (it was this that led me to question the comparatively high LTVs we have, for example). Appears now to have become a series - Channel 4 8pm tonight if anyone's interested.

It was an interesting insight into the pawn industry.
I hope the Nigerian with the fighter jets does not pop up on Funding Secure.
Funding Secure could do with some of their type of customers!

It did make a change from the usual someone who had a deceased relative that had goodness knows how many millions of US$'s locked away in a bank somewhere.

I see it's on again, now ..... Yes, there's been a new series on recently - probably coming towards the end now I would think. I still find it fascinating. (Note to self - need to get out more  - much more)
