        All very good until you go somewhere where there is no or little internet or phone signal like a West Coast Mainline train @VirginTrains shop or the app goes down.

        Idiots! Cash is king. You really want all your transactions tracked? All your personal purchases sold to the highest bidder. Think about that when you need to buy some embarrassing itching cream! #Privacy

        That's what they want you to do. The removal of cash from society is a directive. Be careful why you wish for✌

        The prospect of an entirely cashless society worries me. All it would take is for someone to click a mouse to cut you off.There should always be a place for the cash in your hand.

        No they are not. To have these apps you need a bank account.Most of the time you need a bank account to get paid. It must be against human rights to force people to open bank accounts just to get wages.
