I bought a stamp today - that's probably the first time I've used cash since Daylight Saving kicked in.

So does mine but then they'd hardly expect you to pay in cash when it costs £80-£100 a time!

No, it's mainly down to the age of the store.

Our local sainsburys still uses pound coins for trolling, whereas all the others don't, and it's just down to the fact that it's been there for years and been refurbed for ages.

Yikes! You must be rich!

As for the topic at hand, the only things I spend cash on are public transport (not very often) and the occasional sandwich at work, though that's somewhat expensive so I avoid it when I can.

Everything else goes on 0% credit card so that I can stooze a few quid on interest. The exception is the eternally annoying Lidl which doesn't take credit cards... hate that.

Huh? That's not until the end of March.

Or did you mean since last March?

The sandwich man who visits our office only takes cash (sadly this is now only a payday treat).

My hairdresser only takes cash - he rents a chair rather than being staff, and he hasn't got his act together yet to get a card machine.
