GOOD FUCKING GOD !

I've run the gauntlet at the P.O. and the bank today simply because I wanted to withdraw £1000 cash.

I kept up the stupid old woman act and answered their fucking highly irrelevant and inane questions... because I don't like public displays and tantrums ( mine )

Don't say 'it's for security' ....... don't ..... ffs....... don't.

Its a grand !! Not a fucking nuff to pay for HS2 !!

The vending machine at work only accepts cards now.

Buy a bar of chocolate using a card - it's a crazy world.

You would have been in your element in our local shop this morning.

Internet was down, so cash only.

The number of people who had to turn around and walk back out cos they only had a card. Notice on the door , they obviously don’t read either.

Best bit was, all the numpties panick buying fuel. Clogging up a usually pretty empty forecourt and queuing out onto the road. Then having got to the pump only to find a big notice on there saying ‘ CASH ONLY’

I think it's the only way. If the net goes down we're basically screwed. A more cynical person than I might be concerned about that and the power it might give to certain people...

Oh this drives me insane… the not so subtle questioning as to what the money is for to check your not using it for something fraudulent.. or paying trades in cash so heaven forbid they may not pay full tax etc..

I get they need to check your not being scammed.. but ffs it’s my business what it’s for, so butt out..

I’d be quite tempted next time to say I was using it to pay for a high class male escort next time I’m asked.

(Been doing renovations the past year.. so you can guess it’s high on the list of my bugbears!)

I always prefer to carry cash and pay for everything in cash when I can, I feel it helps me really feel like I'm enjoying spending my money and also keep note of what I'm actually spending and what I have left in my disposable income.

I got asked for my passport the other day to withdraw a very large amount of cash.

I get anti-fraud measures, but there is a fine line between safe & practical and deliberately being obstructive.

I work in the financial services sector, so I know precisely the rigmarole with regulatory etc etc. But good grief it comes across as excessive in some areas.

It has to be or bang goes your job if you are slack at the security side of it. That's the part people don't realise when they have to wait 2 more minutes for something to be done.

We had a similar problem but not with going into the bank.

We needed to transfer money from one account to another and had to do it stages as the daily transfer limit is quite low.

It is if you're transferring between your own accounts but transferring from one person's account to another seems to have been the problem.

Took £1200 out once to put into an ISA with a different bank. No questions asked, but that was in a bank not a post office.

People still buy cars, motorbikes with cash.... Market traders still prefer cash, although markets seem to be vanishing from towns over the country.

Usually carry a cash float of around £100 in case the internet is down at supermarket or filling station. (3 times in past year).

Also pay my window cleaner, gardener, car valeter and house cleaner in cash.

Last year sold my MX5 for cash, if you think getting cash out of the bank is hard work try paying cash in, real third degree situation.

I pay for most things electronically, but still carry a card because my barber and the odd cafe only take cash, so I need to draw it. I believe in Sweden cash is hardly used. It's the opposite to here.

The UK is a major money laundering location but people rightfully getting access to some of their cash, like £1 or 2 thousand, are not any part of the process.

I thought some banks had ATMs inside that let you withdraw larger amounts?

I know Ive taken a few K out from them a few times, but it has been a while so they may have been withdrawn...

I’m still a cash kinda guy.

I don’t feel comfortable without at least half a dozen notes in my wallet.

Quite a few of the proper old school pubs around me don’t take card and I love to pop in occasionally.

I was really surprised to see that even some buskers in Londontake card.

They have it set up so you can contactless touch your card on the machine, and it takes £2
