@Fullycaffeinated @Flick @HebrideanHecate I deliberately use cash more nowadays because
When we went on holiday the hotel, theme park and restaurant were all cashless!
Friend had a ‘Universal Credit’ (uk benefit for (mainly) in work people with low incomes) review and they were incredibly intrusive and it shocked me. Asking things like “why did you withdraw £200 from outside Plymouth Aldi on the 5th of May”, and “why did you receive £20 from JoeBloggs on September 6th”
As you say the bank and everybody else certainly doesn’t need to know everything I do.
