Glad to see BrightHouse have been given a kicking by the FCA.

This really is one shop I'd actually be glad to see leaving our High Street.
They actually give usury a bad name!

I can't remember seeing anyone in our local branch which is not surprising considering the actual price of the goods. I think most of their business is with people that can't afford new gadgets but must have them anyway. Washing machines have multiple programmes but most of us just use one or two. Buy a bigger telly and a week later it just seems the same size as the previous one.

I have also never seen anyone in there which as Howard said is not surprising looking at their prices.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
