I use cash pretty much everyday. I purposely do so over contactless. Cash is freedom. Cash is anonymous. Cash is king. Don’t give up on it or you’ll be sorry when it’s gone.

How many people still use cash? I doubt I’ll ever physically touch one of the King Charles notes or coins.

You’d be surprised. Car wash, barbers, boot sales, market stalls, charity collections, church collections, anywhere that the network or card machine is broken, village fetes, school fetes, church fates, collection boxes, people that have lost their phone or bank card.
