Was having this discussion with my brother the other day - he lives in London and is convinced we'll be a totally cashless society within twenty years and never carries cash himself. He didn't even realise the £2 coin was still legal tender because he hardly ever sees cash

Me living out in the sticks always try and have some cash on me as cashpoints are hard to come by in a lot of towns these days. I also still see a lot of businesses in smaller towns that are cash only like pubs, bakeries, takeaways etc. I think it's still so widely used across most of the country that we'll never go cashless in my lifetime

There's also the issue that using card means your spending is always logged and on record somewhere whereas cash obviously leaves no trail

So do you think a cashless society would a) be a good thing and b) when would it happen by?
