That's a load of bollox my good friend

Its one of many versions bandied aroudn by the cash is king types, or groups. I do get it though and can see the point, but cant see how any business can avoid using banks and incurring their charges, well unless your. single trader with a very small turnover? Digital currency also plays into the 15 minute city thing.

I very rarely use cash. I always used to keep a emergency cash fund in the house but dont anymore. I sold some things on FB market place last year and got paid in cash and its still in my bedside cabinet drawer. No idea when Ill have cause to use it as everyone i've had round here to do work has asked for bank transfer?

Isn't there some importance attached to the black economy?

We've always got a few hundred in our wallet/purse.
Our tenant pays cash every month and we take half each.

Only use card for big stuff like petrol etc

.....Therefore, after 30 transactions, the initial £50 will exist at only £5, and the remaining £45 has become the property of the bank … thanks to all of the digital transactions and fees!
Use it or lose it folks…
Once it’s gone we won’t get it back!
Cash is king!

The author has obviously never googled 'Cash handling fees' or investigated the cost of cash for businesses at all.

Cousin Jack wrote: Sun Feb 15, 2026 10:44 am A question for all you cash-is-king folks.

Would you rather I gave you £100 in cash, as a gift?

Or showed you how to get a free loan of 99.9% of your monthly expenditure?

I prefer the free loan (because I spend a shed-load more than £100 in a month). I typically have a £20 note for emergencies and a few £1 coins for car park machines that are cash only. Otherwise EVERYTHING goes on the credit card(s). I have 3, a Visa, a Mastercard and an American Express. If one doesn't work one of the others will.

What do I gain from the free loan? Excepting section 75 protection for larger purchases?

I was born here. Our council tax going up 9%, capped at 5% Deliveroo goes to the same house every day, the one and only benefit house. Anyway , I don't want to talk about it.
