You seem to be very annoyed by Guardian opinion pieces or news items. Shame.
And when the Israeli's switch off your chip remotely.....:wink:
Why would you interpret my comment as me being angry re the Guardian, when all I was saying was that the individuals that read it would require a reasonable grasp of the english language?Quote:

The most frequently used current sense, denoting "the economic system of a country or an area", seems not to have developed until the 1650s.
In other words, the scope of your thinking on a given subject and the things you yourself consider to be key within the household of that topic.

Supermarkets, banks, pubs, cafes, train stations and airports were all hit by the failure of Microsoft systems on Friday, leaving many unable to accept electronic payments. The impact was especially severe for businesses that no longer accept cash.
The Payment Choice Alliance (PCA), which campaigns against the move towards a cashless society, lists 23 firms and groups, at least some of whose outlets take only credit or debit cards.
“There will always be outages,” said Ron Delnevo, the PCA’s chair. “But if there is no alternative, then the whole thing can collapse around you.”
