Cash is definitely “King” if you want to avoid paying tax on any income you might receive….just saying.

I don’t think tax ‘avoiding’ billionaires have wads of cash under the bed, in sock drawers etc. They’re the big time tax avoiders, all it seems, with the government’s blessing.
The ‘normal’ person using cash trains them to be sensible with their finances. If you go out with £100 and your taxi home is £20, once you’ve spent £80 it’s good night, God bless. Card users can carry on beeping their card regardless. I fear for some people who are being suckered into debt. I doubt they know how much they’re spending……until the worrying letters from their bank start arriving. They end up captured by the system. Overdrafts, credit cards etc, while helping some, can be a financial disaster for many.
I have to smile inwardly when I give the "odd" change in addition to a £5 or £10 note, e.g. for say £5.30 I give a £10 note (if that's all I have) plus 30p so the assistant simply has to give me a £5 note back. The look on his/her face as if to say..."how did you know that" when the till display tells them to give me a fiver change!
A few years back I was working in Rumney, I had a young lad helping me, great kid. And I had a mate, who had a lorry, clearing site for me. We got talking about the ‘odd’ when buying something, the young lad was absolutely baffled, couldn’t get his head around you giving change with a note to the server over the price of what you were buying. Anyway, I had to nip out for something or other, when I came back my lorry driver mate was on one side of the wall giving the young lad, who was on the other side, a tenner with change. He was actually acting out a shop/pub scene to illustrate what we were on about and how it made the server’s job easier and prevented you from walking around with a pocket full of smash. Pubs and shops used to love this, as it gave them more change in the till for further transactions. Did the youngster get it? Did he f*ck
I used the same technique in the Clark's Pie shop (or Victoria Park Pies - whatever) the other day. Was £5.30 I think and I had a tenner and some change so gave them £10.30 to get a fiver back. saved me a pocket full of shrapnell and them an empty till with no change.
Who doesn't love a handful of thru'penny bits?
Walking round with 2lbs of shrapnel in your pockets is great fun. If you like cash, then use cash. But why make an argument out of it? Weird.
I rarely take cash out, having a bulgy wallet in the same pocket as my keys after not carrying one the majority of the time just feels like an inconvenience now. I had 2 sets of keys and my car keys on me yesterday and decided to take my wallet with me as id been paid back cash by one of my mates (that I transferred to) and the wallet is one of them small ones that's basically a card holder with a money clip and an apple Airtag on it.. and it just annoyed me all day. Was handy at 23.40 to get grub from the kebab shop..
I worked a bar 20 years ago, was east to work out the drinks and stuff and id have it sorted in my head as I poured the order, but even then shit tills back then had the prices on and gave you the change due once you'd bashed it all in, also like to add it was easier to get change from the bank than it was 5 pound notes, so all the old fellas standing there with their £10.60 to get a fiver change weren't always doing the place a favour, as when you ran out of fivers you'd have to use the change anyway (where I worked and many other pubs in the area said the same)
so far every person ive met that is passionately for cash and aggressively opposed to anything else seems to fall into this category...just saying :)
i just enjoy flashing my plastic to these individuals
i take similar pleasures with the covid conspiracy theory jokers..they are potentially more fun
