Is your use of cash declining?
A few stories recently about cashpoint machines closing due to lack of use, leading to fears those who still rely on cash could be disenfranchised.
I'm far from an early adopter of card or contactless payments, but they have crept up on me in the last year or so.
That's partly due to a recent general change in attitude amongst retailers - I no longer get scowled at if I want to use a card to buy something for a couple of quid.
It's reached the point that when I went to withdraw cash the other day I struggled to remember the card's PIN number.
What's happening to your use of cash?
