Who needs cash?

****

Looks like my wife might be right. She's been saying for a while that the days of cash are numbered and now I read this:

The foundation, which runs the micro-donation scheme Pennies, commissioned a survey of 1,700 UK adults in October to establish which forms of payment they now use and their giving habits. One in 10 respondents aged between 25 and 34 said they never carry cash and rely entirely on cards, while one in three regularly leaves the house without cash. Five per cent said they live a completely cashless existence.


Interesting stuff...

I wish you luck with using the average pay and display parking machine without cash. Or buying a pint in the local pub. Or, being topical, buying a poppy.
