[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes, Mark...much of what you say is true.
There are some folk in our communities though who cannot access the Internet.
They tend to be older folk who distrust this way of doing business.
The disappearance of branches of banks is also a nail in the coffin of small traders.
There has been much made of trying to get us to go down the route of a cashless society.
This does not sit well with me.
When you can see physical cash in your purse it focuses your mind wonderfully on what you can actually afford.

I really don't think the originator of this thread meant that though.
I think what he was trying to say is ' Accyweb is dead '....and though it isn't dead, it has far fewer participants than it used to have.
A forum only stays vibrant by people coming and exchanging thoughts and ideas.

Many former members, I think may have migrated to Facebook and Hyndburn Chat.
This does not do it for me as the format does not lend itself to a forum type layout....that and the fact that I do not do FB.
