You would get a cheque for a certain amount and could spend it in certain shops and pay back weekly at an exhorbitant interest rate. The more stupid people would get one for say £20, sell it to some one for a tenner and spend the cash in the pub on tabs and beer, then pay £40 back to the "provy woman " weekly ! Cheers.

I remember when i got married i worked at the pit and an old collier used to say are you getting married on a providence cheque i didn't have a clue what he was on about as he was chuckling to himself so just thought he was taking the piss then was told a few miners got married on one in the 60s.
