Hey, I got an idea that will help you with the problem of paying the hairdresser. Just apply the same 'principle' to your hair - - it should last you at least until 70, without a hairdresser's bill.nearlyrich wrote: »I do object to having to pay for one in the first place and then having to pay to update it every 10 years, I know it's irrational but it makes sense to me, my paper licence should do me till I get to 70;)0 -

LBG, RBS Group and the Post Office all use Chip & Pin for over the counter withdrawals - so no ID needed for haircut type cash.nearlyrich wrote: »My hairdresser has moved salons and she hasn't got a credit card machine in the new place yet, I forgot about this.I don't carry much cash and I was in a smallish town with 3 ATM s 2 of them were offline with a system fault precisely when I needed more cash. Hairdresser would have waited for payment I know her well but I don't like owing money hence the hunt for a working cash machine.
I do object to having to pay for one in the first place and then having to pay to update it every 10 years, I know it's irrational but it makes sense to me, my paper licence should do me till I get to 70;)This is a system account and does not represent a real person.
