No it's not easier but not insurmountable surely. Not sure of your ages but I am 66 and happy to use technology and yes I always liked my cash and physical ticket but the world has moved on.So Saturday we had 8 of us with differing levels of of competence when it comes information technology. So its not easily solved and it definitely not easier than bunging someone a crisp note.
No it's not insurmountable but why would you go out of your way to make your life more difficult when you don't have to?No it's not easier but not insurmountable surely.

How do you know?Dinosaurs never had cash - it wasn't invented for thousands of years after they died out - probably about the same time as sneering and snobbery were invented........
Just wondering. What advantage is there in using cash in the trades? Other than the obvious colluding to avoid paying tax I mean. Is it because related services like skips prefer cash on delivery/collection maybe?No it's not insurmountable but why would you go out of your way to make your life more difficult when you don't have to?
Cash is slowly becoming obsolete but it's far from gone yet especially as someone mentioned on this thread if you work in the trades which includes a couple of our group.
I'm not a tradesman so couldn't possibly comment.....But I think you've probably answered your own question there.Just wondering. What advantage is there in using cash in the trades?

Always makes me laugh when people say this, as if having all your transactions stored and available to view is a good thing. Many people rely on cash.Dinosaurs never had cash - it wasn't invented for thousands of years after they died out - probably about the same time as sneering and snobbery were invented........
...and reducing tax evasion is a significant part of the drive towards a cashless society.Without cash, my life would be a lot poorer.....
Cash is still king, in the building trade if you want a discount !
Cash is complete anathema for those of us i) under the age of about 50, who ii) are not trades.*Always makes me laugh when people say this, as if having all your transactions stored and available to view is a good thing. Many people rely on cash.
Cash will always be king.
Boooooooooooooooo...and reducing tax evasion is a significant part of the drive towards a cashless society.
Could you please tell that to my country as I like cash but it is borderline useless here.Always makes me laugh when people say this, as if having all your transactions stored and available to view is a good thing. Many people rely on cash.

Surely not legal is it? And if it is, how long till Barber follows up with a ban at the Albion?
What sort of pub do you go to?? And for what?Lots of people.
Our typical match day involves a taxi to the pub paid for by cash. Whip in the pub paid for by cash. Taxi to the ground paid for by cash. Taxi home paid for by cash.
In fact the only time cash isn't used is at the ground because we've got no choice now.
The simple answer is because some idiots use coins to throw at other fans so they have been identified as a potential offensive weapon in the context of football grounds and the trend is increasing and not just at Sunderland. Personally seems to me to be more logical than taking bottle tops away.No it's not insurmountable but why would you go out of your way to make your life more difficult when you don't have to?

Out of interest, if I was under 50 and asked a mate to get me a butty at dinnertime because he was going out and I wasn't, how would I recompense him in a way that is neither more expensive nor less convenient than bunging him a couple of quid?Cash is complete anathema for those of us i) under the age of about 50, who ii) are not trades.
I am 55 and try to avoid cash as much as possible. And don't get me started on those stupid modern notes that simply won't fold up. I hate them!Cash is complete anathema for those of us i) under the age of about 50, who ii) are not trades.*

Took 35 posts for someone to pick up on that.......NSC is slipping!What sort of pub do you go to?? And for what?
I know lots of 'young' people who use cash, who are straight edge.Cash is complete anathema for those of us i) under the age of about 50, who ii) are not trades.*
