I've never really understood while people ever invest in these sorts of schemes. I guess they are so broke that the small margins make it worth the risk but, even so, why would you hand over 10 quid a week to the landlord of your local pub to pay into a Christmas Club?
This is exactly what the villagers of Shrewton have been doing over the past 12 months only to find that now it's time to pay up , landlord of the Royal Oak for the last 10 years, Malcolm Levesconte, has done a runner with the proceeds. All £20k to be precise.
It was truly heartbreaking listening to BBC Radio Wiltshire's roving reporter interviewing the villagers on the drive home last night. One poor old soul said that she now couldn't afford a Christmas tree as a result and would have to make do with hanging her baubles from the spines of her cactus. Terrible.
