Again, something you cannot fight. The masses seem to think the systems they sign up to won’t lead to ultimate oversight and control. It won’t be long before real money disappears like the £note
Cannot agree more.
Assuming everyone has a smart phone is like assuming everyone has a car or credit or debit card.
Satdi night our son in law was going to split the dinner bill with us, he produced £95 in notes, we got the credit card out. The waiter came over and said to S-i-l "Sorry Sir, card only". Which fortunately we knew. So he had to give us the cash and we paid the bill.
As you say it is for the convenience of the company not the customer.
Edited, duuuuhhh!

Nuclear bombs were evolution globe warming is evolution it arrogant to say it's not
But that assumes tech always works.
In France there is a constant trickle of people walking or driving up the road past our house............. to get to the point where their phones get a signal.
To say nothing of having to rely on it always having money on it AND battery power.

Love the story of why they have no taches or beards on the front of their faces, just around. Bit weird really.

My Ma is a case in point. She is eighty, has no interest in tech or streaming or emails or online shopping or any of that hooha. She just doesn't work that way!
Her employer sends her emails to my address because she doesn't have one of her own, bank the same, utilities the same..
Is it unreasonable for outfits to do things the old fashioned way until these peeps shuffle off?
My father has finally been moved to a dedicated ward. Hopefully he will be comfortable there.
Recently had a phone call from the restaurant in Bath we always eat in. I had contacted them as we needed a piece of information in order to book a specific table, we had had an altercation with the manageress last time as we thought we had booked it that time, but no, bue in part to a third party another member of staff who wasn't there and had told us wrong.
So the big wig manager rang me to say he had talked to her and she admitted that she was very in the wrong and had behaved badly/spoken wrongly.
I hadn't gone into detail at all I just wanted to know what table number the table was that we always try to book, as it suits W better with her handicap as it is the only table where she can stow her crutch without it falling all over the floor and being a trip hazard.
To cut a long story short he agreed that we had behaved impeccably and offered us a free lunch for our next visit, which is next Saturday!
So..........unexpected result!
You having a nice steak thats been booted up n doon the kitchen like a haggy sack
njoy it haha
Morning all!
took me three goes to input a one time 6 figure code from Tescobank to order some flipping cartridges for the laser printer.
Yet again it took me three times to understand why the form wasn't going through. So Tesco bank must have been wondering what was going on , and even they didn't manage to send me a code at least once.
Flipping tech!
W starting on the marmalade but I will be out shopping for stuff she hasn't got like lemons and yet more preserving sugar.
Have a good one folks!
