I was caught in a supermarket with a basket full of shopping on the newsworthy occasion when the Visa network went down. Thankfully I had cash. But that was once in the past 20 years.

Much more commonly (a few times a year) I'm at a cafe or ice cream van or similar out in the sticks (often on or near a beach) and their mobile connection is flaky enough that cash is simpler and quicker than trying card paymenta repeatedly.

I see what you did there…
