I always get cash out for my local cafe because they have to pay fees on card charges.

And so they don't have to pay their taxes.

I never use cash but only because it suits me, no more coming home after a night out with a pocket full of slag thinking how am I going to get rid of all that, fingers stinking of copper etc etc

Only thing I would say is that with every electronic transaction your money diminishes ever so slightly - ie. we're all being charged to spend money. With cash a fiver is still a fiver, no matter how many people's hands it passes though. It is a bit of a con, but doesn't trouble me too much as an individual, losing pennies every day. But from a broader perspective it irritates me that people make a very good living from doing pretty much feck all.

Offset and more by the fact you can buy things cheaper without cash, online than you can using cash in a bricks and mortar location.

What do you need cash for?
*Closes your bank for not worshipping trans people*

This is being stamped out by regulations fortunately.

I cannot stand Nigel Farage but having his bank shut his accounts for being pro-Brexit is an incredibly dangerous precedent.

Please tell us you actually believe that to be true

Didn’t read the link, GB news

I can’t remember the last time I took money out of a cash machine.

Maybe for a haircut or a takeaway.

As long as there are a few cash machines around it’s all good.

I do have some sympathy for drug dealers, though.

One of my first jobs was in retail and we used to spend at least an hour after closing cashing up which was a mission. I envy retail workers like RDD and Peks these days who probably cash up in seconds with just a card machine.

And the prostitutes.

I can't stand GB News or the people who watch it.

These are people who think the entire Covid pandemic was a hoax, designed to usher in a cashless society, or that a single cashless Aldi in Greenwich represents a digital prison.

I'd also be wary of taking Nigel Farage's side on any issue whatsoever.

Why does anybody still believe a word that comes out of Nigel Farage’s mouth? So gullible.

They’ve adapted already and some are even giving gash back deals.

He looks like a facking reptile as well.

The Farage lie has been busted by the BBC tonight

I don't generally have a go at someone's physical appearance, but I'll make an exception for Farage.

I always think he looks like something H. P. Lovecraft might have dreamed up.

He's been spouting the same views for 30+ years and has been rejected from 9 banks.

Is it more likely all 9 have suddenly decided to get 'political' or is it that he's triggered something suggesting it would be unwise to take him on as a customer?

The United board would collapse

Farage is in France atm with his German kids.

I hope the European border force officials give him a full body search with a stout cactus

cant believe there cancelling his account just because he isn't trans............ferring enough money into it because he's broke.

Only if you are an Amazon fan that sells stuff made in China....

For example, if you want to buy some local produce at a farmer's market it's cheaper to buy at the market then say in Sainsbury's or Amazon.
