| “ One thing that seems to be becoming apparent is an increase in the number of people using cash - a reversal of the trend of the past decade.” I have found the opposite! Especially since more people were dragged kicking and screaming into using cards instead of cash when the pandemic started, I have observed that many, especially older folk, have seen that using cards is actually easier and quicker than cash, and have stuck with the cards as preferred method of payment. I now never have more than £15 cash on me. £10 for emergency and £5 if I want to help a disadvantaged or homeless / hungry person. I accept that many cash in hand tradesmen or woman are now using cash again because they don’t want their earnings and expenditures going through their bank accounts!!! |
