I like it....give that man a coconut(he can barter it for a pork pie if he wants)

This obsession with getting rid of money is another way of getting you into hock because if you can't readily see what you have spent, or how much you have left then you are going to get into debt...debt means income for the banks...so they will be smiling all the way to the....bank...but wait there won't be any face to face branches left by then.

That is another worry.
No banks on the high street mean that many who would not use online banking services have had their hand forced...it is either bank online or find a new bank(with all the rigmarole of opening new accounts) each time your favoured bank picks up its skirts and heads for the Internet.
