    I think you nailed it with the absurd.

    The bar staff press two buttons on the till and the screen displays a QR code. The customer opens their digital Bitcoin wallet, takes a snap of the screen and confirms the payment. The staff press one more button and the transaction is complete.

    My G*d, isn't it simpler to put one's hand in one's pocket and proffer cash???

    Personally I'd like to go down the Pembury and give Mr Early a "virtual" smack in the mouth. A QR code? Wot Dat?

    I was drinking in a long standing Wakefield pub last week, which has really upped its commitment to real ale since re-opening. The pumps almost always feature mainstream brown beers such as Spitfire, Pedigree etc. Chatting to the landlady, she told me that Doombar was viewed as being a little 'left field' by the regulars, being too hoppy for their palates! Gawd 'elp 'em if they tried something like Kirkstall Three Swords.

    P.S Still a better beer than the execrable GK IPA.
