As overseas holidays are becoming less common, and holiday park staycations more popular, the desire to send postcards to family and friends is lessening.

There’s nothing that’s guaranteed to cause acute embarrassment more than asking to borrow money, but when it comes in the form of a guarantor loan, things are a little bit different.
