Cashless Society

[denso13]

I think nothing wrong with a cashless society.

I rarely carry cash, just no need. Only if I know beforehand that I'll need it.

I may have a 20 note stored behind in my phone case. Otherwise no. (Like most plumbers)⁹

What happens if there is a power cut.

Wait until the power comes back on? We've had maybe three in the past 40 years, whilst I have lived here.

A bit of a rare thing, but I have a £20 and a £10 note in my wallet, a result of a private sale.

You heard how were going to be relying on wind for our energy as we become less reliant on gas oil and coal.?

Only wind? Is that what is proposed?

Think you get the gist, unless your not conversant with what your smart meters about. You have got a smart meter?

 

[denso13]

Think you get the gist

No, you said we'd be relying on wind for our energy, implying more power cuts,, I don't think that's right.

I think it's up to Harry if he needs further explanation. Your well known for being contrary for contrairian sake.
As for not thinking it's right the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.
There's been a few u turns already by labour, how many more is a case of wait and see.

If it seemed at all likely that cashless might not be the sensible option, we would have plenty of time to get funds out of the bank in good time. As the risk at the moment is minimal, I will happily stick to the safer option of cashless.

I know you don't like being corrected, but I can't help with that.

 

[gant]

I know you don't like being corrected, but I can't help with that.

Read it back to yourself and see how wrong you are then, then you'll then realize what the inference was meant by relying on wind. It's taken for granted they're will be other sources available but if you take coal, gas and oil out of the equation you leave yourself open to power outages when the wind don't blow.
That wasnt hard to work out was it.
You could have said you get my point re wind and pointed out the fuels on offer but that's not your style is it, ever the contrairian eh.

 

[denso13]

yourself open to power outages when the wind don't blow.

You can keep saying it if you like, but I think you are wrong.

 

[gant]

Like I say we will have to see how wrong I am then.

Cashless won’t work. Even if I take most via bank transfers now, I still end up with some cash when I’ve worked on caravan sites. They love paying in cash.

I then spend that on business items to save going to a bank. And I can’t see it changing.

Cashless won’t work

OK......

I still end up with a wallet full when I’ve worked on caravan sites.

If the government will is there, it can happen.

You probably couldn't see yourself discussing matters with people you've never met, on a portable device from your sofa, or car, or sun lounger.

And that happened.
