I hate

Same. Don't worry, it's just business not personal

bartenders dragging their heels with your change...

I feel like these days I rarely use proper money and I can't say I miss it.

My Mum gave me £100 "pocket money" in December 2019, only managed to spend the last of it last month. Only service I use that takes cash is the window cleaner!

We get shoppings and pick up bits and bobs for my mother in law. She insists on giving us cash for anything we buy, which then just sits around in the kitchen until I eventually take it to the posh booze shop. I mean that sounds good, I guess, but I'd still rather it just went in to the joint account.

Which made it even more awkward.
There wouldn't have been change if I used my card, wheres my 25p!!

Also, beer prices.
£11.25 for 2 beers. :(

I feel very out of touch.

Allegedly £8 a pint somewhere in London. Presumably a strip club?

Oooo I don't like not having cash on me. I think subconsciously I want to know in an emergency I can bribe a stranger to help.

I keep cash for eggs and chips

And cafe breakfasts

And the Black Horse in Checkendon
(£3.85 for pint of Rebellion)

Does the Venn diagram of 'egg and chips' and 'cafe breakfasts' not almost entirely overlap?

Scandalous.
I'm in Leeds and the arena sells 2 pinters for £15, guessing a pint is 7.50 but that's not the local. London is crazy!

@brokenbetty huge advocate of 'walking around money'

My favorite pub is cash only

Ah. A box of eggs from the butchers. Chips from the chippy. Cafe breakfasts from the cafe. All in cash, correct change preferable (although the breakfasts are too pricey to all be in change).

Get down The Angel. Cash only in there anyway.

Blimey. Was it a good one?

Yowch

It was for the tarmac....

Heal soon!

Proper TdF style downhill slide out on a corner. Doing about 45mph.

Bike hit a boulder, chain ring exploded, rear rim now square, seat post bent by (I think) my arse on impact.

Windermere?

Sheesh! Looks like you escaped full on face-rash by a hares whisker

Windermere

Impressive. Yep the descent from Sawrey to the ferry.
