I had an incident, not that long ago. I was in ASDA and had done a small shop so I decided to use the auto check out. When I had finished I inserted my debit card and a voice (that sounded louder than it probably was) said that my card had been denied. I was embarrassed and horrified considering my balance is always comfortably in credit. I used another card and when I got home I was straight on the phone to the bank. Bank was still in credit but they told me they had no record of any transaction in ASDA, accepted or denied. Not a pleasant scenario at all!

Notes and coins are increasingly irrelevant.
Since returning to the UK in January following eleven years away, I go about my daily life with no bank notes or coins in my possession. The only fly in that particular ointment has been the need to obtain some coins to put under my daughters pillow from the tooth fairy. Whilst certain rural communities may not have adequate broadband to support the full range of electronic payment methods that have replaced cash, this is a solvable problem. Other than drug dealers, I'm struggling to think of any groups who will argue for the continuation of payment in cash. |

I think we can all accept that a cashless society is on the horizon. Terry says "Don't let them get away with this" but what can any of us do to stop it? It is too late for that.

Aspro not nice,but if that happened in the way I have described ,there will be NO number to call,then what?
 |

By:
Its all about control and has been planned for years, just look whats going down in China right now,credit points taking off for the slightest thing etc etc, and its coming to your doorstep very soon
|
|
By:
No problem.
|
|
By:
I repeat... what can any of us do to stop it? The simple answer is nothing! I know your answer will be to stop using cards but the amount of people that follow that lead will not even put a blip on the screens. It is inevitable.

The real benefit to the government will be self-employed traders, especially in the building industry. Think of the extra tax they will collect that is currently being avoided!

All the cash machines are being taken away
They certainly are....by Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves! One was taken, in the dead of night, from Tesco Express at Brayton..... This was many months ago and is just now being replaced! |
|
By:
How do you know it was the gypsies? Could be a planned strategy to wipe cash off the planet. They burn all the cash at home and tell you it was the gypsies. Fkin mainstream media.

Of course it benefits us, tax collected by the government and put to good use, how do you think they pay for roads? rail? hostipals?

I can't remember the last time I went in my local supermarket and saw someone paying with actual hard cash, its always with a card and its a little swipe and its all done
I pay with cash, and if its for something like an energy drink its paid with loose change, and I would advise anyone to go back to actual hard cash as its the safest monetry system there is |

By:
Cash is king. A few months ago went to cash point to get some money out and my card got swallowed by the machine took 5 days to get sent new card then new pin, good job i had some cash on me or i would have been in shyte street for them 5 days.

Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages. The system that will finally work is the one that suits the powerful, whoever that may be at that poin, irrespective of its disadvantages to the public. Im pretty sure when cash came into existence, people said oh look they are gonna write a number on a piece of paper and keep all the gold coins. Today's paper money is a joke in itself, and we are arguing over what happens when they turn in into digital crap instead of paper crap :/
The general public has always had to do with whatever the powerful of the time decide for them. Some go with it, some complain. Cash can remain the king but its going away pretty soon. Whether thats a conspiracy or not does not matter. |

Going cashless will only benefit the Government and the banks. Once this happens you can be sure the banks will start charging again for bank accounts,card transaction fees and if you go in the red by a few pence will be charged overdraft charges of £20 a day etc, and HMRC will be wanting to know where every penny in your account came from in that tax year.

It all went wrong when electricity was discovered, understood, and then harnessed for use by humans.
Let's turn back the sun dial and eliminate all technological advances. By the way, cash remains king, nothing as changed in that regard. It just doesn't need to be physical notes and coins. |
|
By:
Exactly. Cash is King basically means your money is safer staying uninvested(probably not a word) rather than invested in a market that is overvalued. It has nothing to do with paper money. Cash is King will be valid in a cashless society as well.

Didnt Modi feck the paper money holders last year by banning a particular denomination? People with illegal money were trapped. All it took was an announcement to replace the 500 note i think. The govt can still feck you if you keep cash. With digital, they probably just wont need to. Thats all the difference there is.

By:
It was the 500 and 1,000 rupee notes that were withdrawn from circulation as part of an initiative to take back control and clamp down on the thriving black economy.

Going cashless will give the governments and banks greater control over money
We won't be able to stuff it in the mattress Although if the government keep changing the notes as they do...even stuffing it there won't help us |
