In gambling, hairdressers and the lotto we trust

WE have more trust in gambling, hairdressers and the lottery than we do in bankers, pension advisors or estate agents.

The bankers, stockbrokers and lawyers of this country are now classed as being as trustworthy as sellers of second-hand cars, as we instead seek solace in comfort food, hairdressers, alcohol, books, newspapers and the lottery.

The picture is much the same across the EU, according to the first survey of consumers’ expectations and experiences of services and products.
