I happened to be in Bridgeton,Glasgow today, which is where the 2014 Commonwealth Games will be held. The bank I used to use shut down several years ago, but has now been transformed into a very smart bookies.
I can't help but feel this is not helping the attempts to move the area upwards. The people who used to go into the bank to withdraw their weekly stipend from the government now go in and hand the money over to the bookie.
It would be a good idea for the government just to pay the money direct to the bookie, and that would take the middle man out of the equation.
