    my son is of the 5p burning a hole in the pocket brigade and I just know the plastic would be hard for him to resist.

    But whats the difference between having 5p in your pocket and 5p preloaded onto a plastic card? It's still 5p!
    Here I go again on my own....
  • I've heard that you even have to pay to put cash into these cards on a rising scale dependant on how much you put in. All in all its a very expensive way to look cool. Will it lead to children hooked on easy plastic money ? perhaps you could offer him the cash instead but extra so that he gets the fees you would pay to set it up.

    Maybe so, but I think it's only in American movies where bullies take dinner money off their victims and get away with it!
