A lot less use for cash these days tbh... e.g. it's pretty normal to pay with card in bars these days when even 5 years ago using cash was more usual. Even buses take card payments now :think:.

Yeah, it's all changed. My only use for spare change was for parking around town and even those allow card payments now. Still though... It's always nice to have an ATM nearby. Some shops still don't take card payments and some pubs/shops (near me anyway) have a minimum spend.

I don't like it. Harder to keep track of. :worry:

Some Stores with New Cash Machines
will charge £2:50 take a tenner out,
that is so wrong

No one should charge for this

instead of PC crap this is what a Government should be tackling, as well as fuel cost
