Cashless Society

Good morning folks. Another wet day in the south east here but not working again until tomorrow. So it is another day of just relaxing having vacuumed around the house. Currently listening to Radio 3 of course. It is about electronic payments esp. contactless payments which i do not agree with since in the end the fraudsters will get a way around it. For the marginalized cash is still king esp. if you are on a tight budget.

I really hate the idea of a cashless society. It will disenfranchise many people who still do not use banks etc.

Cash in my terms is still legal tender.

What do you think?

I have had a Pro-Ject Debut turntable before which was smooth and great sounding for under two hundred quid. For DJ work i always used a Thorens deck similar to this one. New it costs £380 but is worthwhile lookng aroud for a second hand one.
