Anyone Else Been Experiencing This......
All our local supermarkets, and Whetherspoons, have been experiencing a problem with their card readers.
So customers have been forced to draw out cash. But that proved a challenge as quite a lot of our banks have shut down, and cash machines have become as rare as public phone boxes.
This hic up makes me think how would the UK become a cashless society, if we need it to survive when technology breaks down? Surely that to me highlights we need cash to exist as an alternative.
How else are we going to survive and buy our essentials like groceries etc?

I got told last week that it was.cruel and evil to allow cats to go out to play on their own as Bob Cats will kill them (in Scotland?). And any loving cat slave should declaw cats to make them happier indoors.
I usually pay by card but carry about £50 with me in cash.
Just proves though doesn't it that society has become already too dependant on technology.
So when it goes wrong we are running around like headless chickens.
It begs the question why have we allowed this to happen to us, as we are as much to blame for using cards instead of cash, and online banking has shut the banks.
In my opinion its only going to get worse if we let it.
