Ah the tax avoiders
Not sure if unusual or not but I put salt on my porridge with milkThis fad of putting salt on sweet things. Who made this up? Salted caramel - disgusting. Salted brownies - awful. I had a shortbread cookie yesterday - traditionally shortbread would be dusted in sugar, but they'd dusted it in salt instead. It just tastes weird! Like they ran out sugar and did it wrong. I'm convinced this is like an emperor's new clothes thing where everyone knows it tastes awful but nobody wants to admit it for some reason. You wouldn't put sugar on your fish and chips.

See I do the old "Scottish" way apparently and put salt in the porridge before I cook it

Do you know how much card companies charge for every transaction?
Cash is a legal tender and it's use should be allowed for every purchase where face to face interaction is made.

Yes. But cash only is unacceptable. Card is an acceptable form of payment
By all means accept cash but cash only just screams im not declaring my full earnings to HMRC.

If that's what you think...
I hope every purchase you make is by card, for anything then.

Dryer has gone on the blink. Stopped working and not good noise plus wife said she thought she could smell burning. Unplugged and going to skip. Wasn’t expensive - had it a good few years. Just irritating.

I agree. It should be an option to pay by cash.
I personally only have cash for entering comps at the golf club (ironically it's a cashless club apart from comps)
Window cleaner, bank transfer
I think the only time I use cash at home itself is if I haven't cashed up the tuck shop at work yet (IE gone to the bank) and we order in so I use that money and send my money to the shop to save going to the bank.
But as I said all should be options. We aren't a cashless society, saying that more and more take card now. The kids school take it for the stalls at sports day , poppy sellers take card , very rare I see cash only apart from the local tanning shop that screams I'm cleaning money for the local gangsters

There is a curry house in Yorkshire which I have been in a couple of times a year for the last 7 or 8 years. Every time I've been, there has been the same sign in the window "Sorry, our card machine is broken. Cash Only".
Separately, the wife went to her regular nail salon last week. She has always paid cash, but forgot to go to the atm this time. They said that's OK, you can pay by bank transfer. Hmm.

When the wife used to get tans (hasn't for years now) the tanning shop was cash only and for her bday I bought her a package .. £200 think it was . "Cash only" I was like what? Had to walk out and go cash machine . Not like it's a few 25p Freddos at the local off licence
