Loans are better than gifts in some ways in terms of helping people to stand on their own feet, but if a loan isn't repaid then it really plays havoc with the relationship, so sometimes it's better to keep the friendship and make a gift... although one person who we have helped out with gifts a couple of times we just found out from his girlfriend that he's carefully documented how much he owes us so he can pay it back, which even if he never does it we're impressed with the intention. <br /><br />Apart from the immediate getting out of a corner stuff there's also a whole question about what's Frank (and missus Frank) going to do to ensure that it doesn't happen again?
