https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/uk-ca ... 21647.html
quite an interesting topic.
this country could be cash less within 15years.
personally I only use cash never use a card even though I have one.
my wife uses her card all the time and very rarely uses cash.

Old-school: people who buy one drink in a pub and pay by tapping get me down. It was great to get a wage packet full of cash in days gone by...

Re: cash or card
How much longer before we have a microchip implanted in our right hand . You won’t even need a card then as everything will be done electronically. I watched a documentary one night and they had this technology already in a few people in America . Edit ,You might be able to look up this on YouTube

Nothing gives me a warmer feeling than a wallet so bulging it is almost impossible to fold.

Re: cash or card
I read today that 2 million people in the UK don't have a bank account. Obviously they can't use cards but that's a staggering amount. Where do they get their cash from? Is this all the black economy?

Re: cash or card
I remember visiting New Orleans in 1978 and being surprised at a sign on a shop window saying “card purchases only no cash held on premises”. But the old greenback (dollar bill) is still very much around.
There will be cash for a long while yet but for sure more people are using the card all the time

Re: cash or card
So many of my customers want to pay 4 or £5 fares with a card these days. They are a right pain the the arse.
In fact thinking about it upwards of 98.7% of my customers are right pains in the arse.

Pens & paper , now could we not do something with those ?

Re: cash or card
The government want everyone paying by card or electronic means as everything can be traced and more importantly tax levied on everything earned.

Re: cash or card
For that to happen I would need to have succumbed to consumer pressure and have purchased a machine in the first place.
Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the c**ts, the dogs, the filth, the s**t. Here is a man who stood up. I'm not letting those fuks rule my life
