Are The British Really Eccentric?

Lloyds bank published some information last week that proves that British eccentricity isn’t dead. It was a list of reasons that people put on credit card applications for why they need the money. Now the standard ones are there: the cars, home improvements and holidays - but we also have requests for:

• £15,000 for a camel
• £5,000 for a suit of armour
• £20,000 to convert a cave into a house
• money for breast enlargements
• cash to get teeth done before the wedding
• £1,000 for a sheep
• £7,000 for a houseboat
• a loan to enter an auction to have a date with a footballer
• money to build a Robert Wars machine,

and,

• £10,000 to buy a black stallion like the one in the ads!

Have a great weekend.
