TOPIC: Credit and/or Debit Cards

Credit and/or Debit Cards 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I was in 4 European countries last week; two different currencies: Euro mainly.

Accommodation, food, drink, transport and entertainment - all paid by card.

Simplicity AND a 5% discount on purchases; who, now, wouldn't have a card?

Good rates and no fees. Cash is as redundant as milkmen, farriers and bus conductors.

Milkmen are still going, there are neighbours here that have milk deliveries 4 days a week along with other provisions and other Ambient.

If you farriers are a thing of the past then you don't live in the countryside Barney.

I try not to Wyot.

Barney is an evil and sadistic piece of work.

I was at a concert last week, a nice elderly couple didn't have their bank cards, so they couldn't even have a nice cup of tea before the show, until a good samartian bought them a cuppa each. The theatre is now going back to cash and card.

What got my goat up, was that the bar staff accept tips and donations to support the theatre upkeep in cash.

I don't always carry my cards with me. If I am on a night out to a theatre, I still take about £30 with me and I still come home with about £15.

I don't buy merch these days at shows unless they have cheap CDs for sale. Shirts end up in wardrobes and they shrink very quickly.The quality is getting worse but the prices go up, Hoodies can be anything from £40-£70.

He does seem a little obsessed by you at the moment. Just baffles me what the trolls get out of it...

I agree Wyot, out of interest do you use cash or cards? I know you have family commitments but have you been to Christmas concerts yet?

Barney wants to know if we wear boxers or briefs.

I use debit cards for everything but I freaked out the other day when a taxi would not accept one and I had no cash.

Finally one card worked but there was nothing wrong with the others..rather it was the taxi's system.

Some months ago I was in a supermarket when the world wide system crashed and machines world wide began shutting down.

I watch as literally registers around me closed down one by one while my register accepted payment and then shut down.

A world wide war could be conducted by cyber crime.

Just like the Henry Ford invention, radio/tv and phones(new and old) have conquered the world. More phones on earth than people!

New payment methods too; credit cards are a start. Voice/eye/thumbprint/DNA/saliva confirmations coming. Not mother's maiden name!

If WW3 starts it will all be redundant anyway.

If there a more phones than people than phones companies are destroying enviornment not the farting cows.

I use cards GM nearly 100% of time. I haven't been to any concerts for a while, not a great deal appeals.
