[Margaret Pilkington]

I really object to being told how I have to pay for something.
I have a debit card...I use it rarely because I do not trust the people who take my card details will take good care of those details.
They are unconcerned about what happens if my details are scanned or cloned because they do not have to deal with it.
I use my card to get cash from the bank...the last time I looked banknotes and coins were legal tender.

I know people are worried about picking up the virus from money, but it is a very slim chance...and if you follow good hygiene practices then that is minimised.
You are just as likely to get it on an envelope of Curry house flyer that comes through your door.
