Getting harder to do with banks demanding to know why you’re withdrawing cash.
Yep, I like the idea of cash but if you think it through its too much hassle now. Plus if you believe the government conspiracy theories it will also be very easy for them to limit cash to law abiding citizens anyway.
Might as well just go with it and keep a few quid at home for when the worst happens.

That gets my back up. Last time I answered with "it's to pay for two high class escorts and some Colombian marching powder". That raised an eyebrow for a second before she realised I was taking the pish. Do they seriously think that someone whose up to no good will give straight answers to their retarded questions?

Sainsbury's and Tesco's online deliveries been stopped with software problems. people are now going to have to leave the house to go shopping! Not accepting card payments either. Cash is king imo.

Is someone reminding us of our reliance on technology and supermarkets, and how vulnerable we are?

Yesterday McDonald's and Just eat.

@delilah know anything!?
But yet 2 more banks in local town closing 🙈

There’s absolutely no conspiracy about it, it’s being openly discussed.
