    I think a lot of businesses went cashless in the pandemic (in the early days, when it was believed that you could catch Coronavirus from banknotes and coins). Those that haven't gone back have probably realised the small loss of business from people who don't have a card, is less than the reduction in hassle and costs associated with cash handeling.

    In my wallet, I have £20 cash which I always carry. The last time I actually spent cash was before Christmas at a fate. I used the £20 from my wallet. The £20 I drew from an ATM in December to replace what I'd spent is the same £20 that's in my wallet now.
