Ahh yeah I think that's different, loaning cash at a pub and getting it back when you pass the cashline, we used to do that all the time. That's an old-fashioned issue now though since basically everywhere is cashless and most places you don't even have to go to the bar, you get the round in from your phone at the table .

Like I said on the other thread I was out a couple of months ago and hadn't been since pre-covid. I was amazed. I ****ing love it! I've always hated standing at sweaty bars waving a grubby banknote. Sitting there like a little prince ordering drinks on my phone and having them come straight to the table was just wonderful .
