If i was still someone who shops at Tesco ... oh my, the fun I would have with this.
Boycott plain and simple... It should be illegal to not accept legal tender
Although the banks take their cut for paying cash in
Seems there's some that don't still maybe as Google says thisAlthough the banks take their cut for paying cash in![]()
The charges here are tiny compared to a card transaction... Same with a cheque's 54 cent regardless of size on a 5k card payment I'd often pay between 70-100 euro it's the banks who are really pushing cashlessSeems there's some that don't still maybe as Google says this
Does the Post Office charge for cash deposit?
Is there a fee for making cash deposits at a Post Office branch? No charges are taken at the counter however some banks may charge for this service. Please contact your bank directly to check if they do.
Hmm, another part of the narrative to get the plebbery to welcome digital currencyPizza hut has been cashless I believe since 2020, but my local favourite fry up cafe and chinese shops are both cash only. Covid was a god send for those business's who wanted to go cashless.
I know Hoots, I like to leave tips at titty bars tooI use both methods. I find I actually spend less with card though as I just buy the product. With cash, I seem to spend off all the change too![]()
Some reality of the digital cashless age

If they see your rant you’ll be in the slammerThis morning our technical department circulated a notice from the FSA about potential fraud where crooks are targeting food businesses, placing orders pretending to be from genuine companies and getting product delivered to other destinations.
Two hours later, I answered the phone ti a woman asking if we could supply salmon portions and prawns. I said yes, but we get a lot of calls from restaurants and the like who are just looking for 20kg or something. I asked what kind of quantity she’s looking for as we deal in container loads, 20 tons plus. She said yeah so do we…then asked if we can take credit cards
A container of salmon portions would be £150k and no one buys those with a CC. I said the traders were in a meeting, which was correct; took her number which she read out and matched the one on our phones display, and asked her what company she was from. She said Coston Hall. I told her a trader would call her back.
So I googled Coston Hall and it came up with costonhalldairy.co.uk - check it out.
I phoned their number and spoke to the owner and told him what had happened. He said he’s spent the past couple of weeks dealing with shit. They’d been ordering seafood (a company in the industry lost £28k of smoked salmon through it) £10k of Christmas trees - another firm narrowly avoided losing £20k worth of trees. And a shitload of products.
I interrupted the traders meeting ti tell them, and while I was doing that another colleague answered the phone and it was the scumbags wanting to place an order
When I was talking to the guy at Coston Hall I said do you want the phone number I’ve got, and he said no - the police aren’t interested even though he’s be on at them for two weeks.
What the fuck do the police do now? This mirrors my experience with them on the baseball bat night - “oh, they’ll be well away by now”.
Nowadays I think you have to call Angela Rippon or Dominic Littlewood to get stuff like that sorted out, but for the latter you would probably need Google translate, or a universal translator from Star Trek (I've got a couple, might let one go, with payment via bank transfer........)This morning our technical department circulated a notice from the FSA about potential fraud where crooks are targeting food businesses, placing orders pretending to be from genuine companies and getting product delivered to other destinations.

You should support any English citizen who runs a business and declines to fund the illegitimate UK government through taxation.I’m probably my own worst enemy in many ways. In terms of cash, I rarely use it; having to get some is a bit inconvenient. Have to get some today in fact to pay my barber. He openly wants cash saying its because he doesn’t declare the earnings. I know a few self employed of various trades who do the same. All are obviously advocates of keeping cash. I like the convenience of using apple pay etc, but I don’t like the way this country is going on many levels. I think we should keep both.
Now?... and what would you do now?
I think Wayne said thatNow?
I'd sleep with the author, just as you would.
In that case, you would hopefully, genuinely sleep through it.I think Wayne said that![]()
I get that, but I’m a bit envious because I get taxed until my eye balls spin.You should support any English citizen who runs a business and declines to fund the illegitimate UK government through taxation.
Goat, if I had seen that statement written down twenty years ago I would have gone ballistic at the author.
I used to feel outrage... but now, I just want the whole establishment structure to burn.I get that, but I’m a bit envious because I get taxed until my eye balls spin.
