All of that is gone now and we are left to rely on the generosity of people like Martin Lewis - Cameron called getting other people to do what his Government should have done, the Big Society!
Yet it's not the responsibility of Martin Lewis or the Government to explain how to prepare for the financial decisions of life, is it. When I was young you had a telephone directory and the tel. number of a Bank or a Building Society - you had to find out for yourself or ask a parent....
