Pic of the day

ah the good old days when cash was king, thing of past now, i simply cant leave the house without some of the folding stuff in my wallet, my daughters carry absolutely zero cash with them, everything is on a card even if its a £1 chocky bar

It feels wrong to pay for a pint with a card, although not done that for a while.

The guy who did my rollcage was telling me that his business account has started charging him for paying cash in.

i'm afraid that's the way things are going, cash is or will be an alien word, i still use cheque books for some things, i just find it easier to look at cheque book stubs if trying to look back on payments

HSBC Bank used to charge a £1 for every £100 paid in so I never paid any in my account.

didn't they find loads of cash in carrier bags in his flat when he died, something about he didn't trust banks or something like that if i remember correctly

that was Franky Howard I believe.

They found Franky Howard in bags in Benny Hill's flat??

you could be right, i just googled benny hill to refresh my fading memory again and now remember the stories when he died, what a sad ending and what a tight fisted bloke he was as well

Benny Hill lived in Teddington. Had a flat on the river just by The Anglers.

Also had a apartment near Hyde Park... blue plaque there on the wall too.

The banks still do. Usually between £4 and £6 per £1k paid in plus they charge you for change orders if your taking cash out.

However that still works out much cheaper than card fees of around 20p per transaction plus a percentage of the total which varies by type of card debit card , credit card and amex being the highest.

Yoof of today want to use their card/smart phone to pay for everything from a £1 transaction upwards.

Its the reason small businesses often have a sign up saying £10 minimum card purchases.

The sneaky thing the banks did was transactions upto £30 on card used to be free for the first 2 years after they introduced the pin less payment to get people using it. Then they started charinging the card fees on all transactions.

my local pub (when it was open) used to run tabs and then encouraged debit card payment to avoid cash charges and also allowed cash back for the same reason

State currency and even state system is no more useful, suffice the banks and financial system

Thanks Froddy, it is not too bad but confess a good friend of mine had a 25 year career at Alfa GB and I did need his guidance on this one! Cheers!
