    No not Matty Cash... real money.

    Out of interest what would you say you spent in actual physical notes and coins in December?

    I probably spent just £15-20 tops and the rest was on my card or via apple pay.

    Some places these days are even saying 'card only' as a payment method so cash one day will be no more potentially.

    Cash should be king. So many things I pay by cash.

    Yeah, I expect your dealer prefers cash only...

    100% - its a shame as it shouldn't be but with the way everything is going it will be entirely gone inside 20 years. I can't remember the last time I spent physical money.

    I always use cash when buying drinks in a pub etc, or if i go to the shop for just one or two items.

    A cashless society would be a very dangerous thing (maybe one for the conspiracy thread).

    People need to start using it again then if they want it to stay.

    Absolutely nothing, I haven't used any cash in years and I massively prefer things cashless.

    Well I don't have any cash so nothing to have there.

    Only time I use cash is to occasionally buy weed lol.

    I probably spent about £20-25 in actual real cash money but I very rarely take cash out with me anywhere. If i'm going out to eat and going to a small local business type eatery I will always try and pay in cash so that they aren't lumbered with card transaction fees etc (I wish more people did this).

    Think the only thing I drew cash out for was to pay those bastards hung and magdad for the ticket I used. Obviously had to do it over two days because of the price they charged me.

    People do all their shopping online or at a supermarket but complain the only shops left are supermarkets. People hardly ever use cash but complain if they can’t. It’s life and progress. BTW I complain about these things too despite being just as guilty for not using them.

    There has been an upturn in people using cash lately, according to the news.

    I spend at least £200 a month in cash and neither have I. However, I've realised I've not even looked <laugh>

    Think they are only putting him on the £2 coin, as they cant fit his ears on the smaller £1.
