Hi everyone,
Wonga UK, the ―Straight talking money‖
lending firm who infected the UK with its
‗million pound profit per day‘ business
model after its American parent company
had its license restricted for failing to
comply with USA‘s banking rules has
had a slap on the wrist. Not being able to
trade the way it wanted to in the USA it
simply moved to the UK.
Remember when ‗Call me Dave‘ was
going to clamp down on pay-day-loan
companies charging excessive interest
rates, some as high as 4000% plus APR ?
But then he didn‘t.
Remember also The Church of England
threatened to start up a rival pay-day-loan
company in the form of a credit union to
force Wonga into lowering interest rates
until it was revealed that the C of E in-
vests part of its vast wealth into Wonga to
create even vaster wealth in return. You
Bishops, what are you like?
Most recently Wonga was ordered to pay
£4.6 million compensation to 45,000 cus-
tomers. It transpired it falsely implied that
debt collection letters being sent out,
were from two firms of solicitors.
Namely, Chainey, D‘Amato & Shannon
and Barker and Lowe. Mmmm they
sound like solicitors to me, so, will the
real Chainey, D‘Amato, Shannon, Barker
and Lowe please stand up? Aha, it seems
that these people are merely names of
menial employees taken from Wonga‘s
payroll list.
Managing Director Ms Tessa Cook
(Wonga UK) said ―These practices are
firmly in the past and have no place in
our business today‖. But they did once.
―Straight talking money‖ ?
Not even close!
Stay safe everyone

Uckfield & District Horticultural Society
SUMMER SHOW
We‘re looking forward to some really
good entries in the Summer Show this
year. The fruit is abundant, veggies are
growing well and flowers are spectacular.
However, nature can be cruel, so please
no droughts and not too many deluges
before 16 August.
It only costs 20p per exhibit, so how
about putting something in yourself?
If you have never exhibited before, there
will be lots of us around to give you some
help with setting up, and if you find any
of the instructions in the schedule confus-
ing, you‘ll find telephone numbers for the
committee members at the front of it, so
just give one of us a ring for an explana-
tion – I promise that none of us bite!
If you‘ve exhibited with us before, do
come along and do so again.
There are classes for vegetables, fruit,
flowers, cookery & preserves, crafts,
flower arranging and photography.
If you have children or grandchildren,
why not encourage them to enter some of
the children‘s classes, which include
making a scarecrow (max. 1m tall) out of
recycled material, a photo of a flower,
5 jam tarts, and a 6 + line sample of
handwriting. Children‘s entries are free
and there are sections for the up to sev-
ens, 8-10‘s and 11-16‘s.
The Show is in the Civic Centre on
Saturday 16 August, setting up is from
8.30, doors open to the public at 1.30
(entry free), and prize-giving is at
approx., 4pm.
To get a schedule phone Carol on
01825-762 934.
