Tthis thread is a timely reminder that I need to go and get some cash right now! I'm going to the hairdresser in half an hour and she only takes cash or these weird things called cheques. I rarely have more than a few pounds in cash nowadays.
They both have their uses, obviously.Cards are great, and easy to use, but I do like to have a bit of cash on me as well. We are moving towards a cashless society though, and gradually cards will supercede cash altogether. We have to think of cards as another form of cash.
It mortifies me if I haven't got cash to handle. I think I've used cashless twice only because I wanted to hang on to the cash I already had and I didn't like it one bit because I had my suspicious head on at the time. I seem to mistrust everyone these days.
