    I do know what that means and I know the reason why it's a "discount". The vast majority of your purchases don't work like that.

    I fee sorry for you if you think credit cards don't give discounts. You're missing out on a lot of money. Look into it

    Stop swearing.

    Have you never been stuck behind someone trying to count out their change? Can you imagine what it would be like in a big city at rush hour when everyone is buying their ticket with small change? That's the world everyone else lives in.

    How often are cards not working on contactless that it’s holding someone up?

    It just seems like a pre conceived bias that cards are bad more than anything.

    I get the tube to work every day and rarely see anyone’s card not buzz them straight through. Same on the busses.

    People worried about their transactions being tracked probably shouldn’t own a smart phone if they’re that worried.

    That's pretty much what I thought.

    Why would I have been knackered?

    The main reason cards don't work in the underground is because some berk has it in a wallet that is too thick to scan.

    Got to be cash every time for me, you just know where you are, once it’s spent you’re done. With a card there’s no brakes. Also the rigmarole & panic you go through if you lose a card, cancelling, worried someone else is using it, especially with this contactless lark, and you’ve got no way of paying for anything because your card’s gone. You lose a tenner and it’s San Fairy Ann. Cards are ok as back up for me but cash rules every time.

    Buses definitely fill up quicker since they went cash free in London, there's even usually more than one door to enter to tap in Vs one driver to pay

    Spurs new stadium looks amazing, crowd are right up close to the pitch and it seems to keep a great atmosphere in.

    Also using card drives the price up, all merchants are charged for each card transaction so they put that price back to the consumer.

    In Sweden, we bought our tickets using an app on our phones up front (you can big just 1 journey or as many as you want). When we saw the bus coming, we activated the ticket in the app then just showed our phone screen to the driver. Really quick.

    Very true, nothing has ever been stolen from a safe.

    I was trying to be facetious, but the point still stands.
