Make This A Very Special Christmas

31st October 2021 It’s a well-known fact that the best presents come in small packages.

30th September 2020 Lockdown Could Be With Us Before Christmas! Better Start ShoppingNow Before It’s Too Late! The spring lockdown was a nightmare for most of us.

There were also the essential workers who kept working tirelessly throughout the period to keep our country running throughout the lockdown.. They may have looked... Read More

JANUARY 2019

7th January 2019 Not many things are a certainty at present. The country’s economic future, Brexit, and who will be PM in 6 months’ time but one thing is certain, Christmas has passed and for those feeling the pinch Brown & Gold are a good option for a quick cash fix.

MAKE YOUR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

5th October 2017 It’s time to start thinking of what you will buy your loved ones this Christmas and judging by the John Lewis ‘Top Ten Toys for Christmas’ list, this year could be expensive. Most of the toys whether they are plastic robots or walking cuddly tigers are coming in between £100-£150 each. Whether they last for the day, the week or even the year is anybody’s guess but one thing is for sure, they will not be appearing on the Antiques Roadshow in 50 years time. In fact... Read More

Diary Of A Pawnbroker April 2016

6th April 2016 Diary Of A Pawnbroker April 2016 Last month I wrote about the surprisingly high price of scrap gold at the present. Since then a lot of people have taken the opportunity to cash-in their unwanted jewellery while the price is so strong. Some have used the money to pay off bills and others towards their holidays.What has delighted me though is the amount of people just looking for a change of jewellery rather than taking the money. Why not? You have owned and worn a necklace, ring... Read More
