Presumably the payment card system carries a cost that has to be borne by everyone, so it sounds reasonable to get rid of it if there is an adequate system to replace it.

Which it seems there IS ie letters with bar codes.

no it is not reasonable if it was reasonable we wouldnt have cards for anything like gas,electric,rent payments for straters and they would all insist we trek to the post office and que up for ages to pay instead of conviniently paying when you go to the shop for your items.

First of all the payment counter is taken away so you cant make cash payments when in town which was a tory idea and then labour make it even harder to pay them by removing the card scheme.Seems pure stupidity to remove options of payment but hey ho if it saves teh people who dont need these cards a fraction of a pence each year then so be it.
