THE MYSTERY NEWS BLOGGER


Mystery surrounds the identity of the blogger at bridgingnews.com – a wordpress blog site which reveals some entertaining garb on the bridging industry. Although difficult to pinpoint due to a cloak of secrecy


we’re pretty confident who the mastermind is and find it rather patronising that they won’t reveal their true identity to the wider world. So a challenge to readers – a Mont blanc pen to the first who can tell all about this finance site and why they want to be quite so coy about it all. it all seems a bridge too far.


HERE IN MY KA one lender going a bridge too far seems to be roger Morris of Precise Mortgages fame who has been roving around the country in his Ford Ka. “the brokers love it,” a bashful Morris confessed to BI editor Sarah davidson. “no – they just feel sorry for you,” piped up a bemused


John Ahmed, financial services director at intrinsic. either way we couldn’t help but think of roger bopping along to the gary numan classic Here in my car as he goes about selling his wares for Precise. “Here in my Ka , i feel safest of all, i can lock all my


doors, it’s the only way to live, in ka’s “Here in my Ka, i can only receive , i can listen to you,


it keeps me stable for days, in Ka’s “Here in my Ka, Where the image breaks down, Will


you visit me please?, if i open my door, in Ka’s ” With apologies to gary newman.


This isn’T The Bridge you’re looking For
