    Like the DM article, and the cards only "pub" it may work in London for the metrosexuals and gullible, but can't see it working in most places, especially for those of us that are classed "despicable" by the metropolitan elite
    I give it a few months until cash is King again

    Can't really get excited by this, as it will resolve itself - one way or the other - over time, but most of the younger people that I know (and not just those others may describe as "metrosexuals and gullible") hardly know what cash is these days as they do everything with their smartphone and/or a contactless card...

    I know-we had to lend our potential son in law cash for the No 12 bus -but I don't really want my bank manager/algorithm to know what I spend on beer.

    Good point! If the details were passed on to my GP they would probably ask me to go to another surgery.

    I would add that out of laziness I use contactless far more than my conscience tells me to. The banks would love to get rid of cash. They don't get a rake off and it costs them to process it. But they get a nice fee for every card transaction. And rather more people than I am comfortable with get to know where I am and what I am doing.

    As the advert went, American Express says more about you than any other... Well, cash says nothing about you.

    Dead right. I use a Tesco almost exclusively now since a convenient new one opened a few years ago. I won't get a club card and pay in cash 99% plus of the time.
