According to some, imposing “cashless” on the British public would somehow be “progress”?
Removing CHOICE is never “progress”.
In the case of payments, all other payment methods require technology to work and for third-party authorisation to be forthcoming.
We all know that technology often does NOT work - and that third-party authorisation is sometimes denied.
No such problems with cash.
Cash ALWAYS works - and requires NO third-party authorisation.
It really IS as simple as that - and has been for over 2500 years!
Genuine “progress” will be when the British government understands that the British public will NOT accept “cashless”!
