We’ll believe me or not, doesn’t bother me but it would be a bit weird to make it up 🫣. My children’s school doesn’t have swipe cards I pay the money and the teacher sends the list to the cafeteria for who is for school dinners. Same as school trips and non uniform days etc.

I think I'm more spendy when I'm putting little bits on my card, few quid here, £10 of shopping there, cheeky Greggs now and then. On card it's like I'm not spending, even though I am.
I feel I've more control over money with my card, with being able to set limits an always being able to check how much is coming off each time as well as how much is being spent, money seems to evaporate when I have it lol, but it does seem more an more places want to push for contactless, if I go anywhere I also check what they take now as some places will say they prefer contactless an may not take cash
Me and I’m in my 30s - shock horror! I have to regularly to pay the takeaway I visit on a Saturday and my barber in cash and it’s not a big deal as I simply go to an Asda and get cash back when I pay for shopping every 4/5 weeks. I also prefer to take it on nights out if I’m drinking rather than my card.
Phones are all well and good but liable to battery running out especially with the drain that is WhatsApp, as I learned a few weeks back when my phone ran out of battery and I couldn’t use it to open the hotel room door.
I too have had my shopping paid for more than once via contactless, but as I don’t have one it wasn’t mine. I still don’t have one and won’t
I had mine removed after that incident! It was a credit card I had it on, I’ve never had it on my debit card! Hoping they don’t enforce it on us all at some point!!
Same, I always feel nervous relying on technology in case things run out of battery. There are quite a few places near me that still only take cash
It is getting more difficult not to have one
My children's primary school i paid cash. Secondary is swipe card. I'm probably just lazy and can't be bothered to get money out. It's too quick and easy to tap your card. I don't like shopping and would rather we out and back home.
Well nationwide texted me to tell me I was overdrawn, but I don’t have an account with them. Computer problems, guess all of their members should check their accounts and have cash to hand
Yea mine aren’t at secondary school yet so maybe swipe cards might become part of our future! Or could be finger print biometrics by then who knows!
Yea I find the ease of being able to spend money on card/via Apple Pay etc really scary how easy it is and it makes me forget I’ve spent it! I’m probably just old fashioned in that sense but I do really feel safer with cash because i recognise how much money I’ve actually spent where’s with card or contactless etc it almost feels pretend like a game and then I feel like oh tit when I check my balance and think oh dear where did all those transactions come from 
That'll be a scam, not Nationwide
Loads of scams, just block the number. It was HSBC last month.
One in five would struggle to cope in a cashless UK, report finds
A report by the RSA has found that despite the pandemic hastening digital adoption, 10 million people would still struggle to cope in a cashless society, while for millions more, it would be a major inconvenience.

So hardly anyone wants a completely cashless society so that's good to know. I could cope cashless but wouldn't want to. It's worrying how many couldn't cope with being cashless according to the survey.
Nope nationwide I called them, they confirm major IT issue. texting wrong people
Would you implant a tiny debit card chip in your hand?
London-based Walletmor claims to be the first company in the world to sell contactless bank-card chips that can be implanted into humans.
First the BBC now the Daily Mail as MSM I have seen bringing this topic up. There is no way someone is putting a chip in my hand to put over a chip n pin machine to pay contactless without even a bank card.
Some takeaways only take cash. I like a bit of cash in my purse but I also use card.
I like the convenience of contactless card however, I do worry that if internet goes down noone can pay anything or access money. Makes me worry about the future and the safety of our savings, etc.
I don't use cash and don't even carry a card, I just use Googlepay on my phone. Don't even carry a handbag these days unless we're going on a trip out and I need to carry hankies, water or whatever.
I've said it before.
If you won't accept my cash, you will not receive my custom.
