I wasn't having a pop mate , just sayin'That’s fine VG, the alarm or the dogs will scare ‘em off!!!
Lol, yeah I know.
Know what you mean, I've had the same tenner in my wallet since March
Exactly, there seems to be nowhere that takes cash any more (post lockdown), I quite like it.That cash in the wallet got me thinking. I have cash in my wallet from prelockdown.
Crazy but everything is contactless these days
Cheeky, you saying I'm tight?Which year ?

Thats obviously why, a lot of places have raised the contactless limit to (I think) about £50 for that reason.Contactless is more hygienic , so that's a plus.
We took a little stroll through Appledore yesterday and stopped for a Hockings ice cream from the van on the quay.
Cashless !!
A bloody ice cream van, cashless ?
So, I've still got the fiver.
This should be on the Jokes thread, Shirley.A lot of buskers around London now offer contactless card payment facilities and I even know if a homeless bloke in Mayfair who begs with a card reader
Nope, I shit you not. The beggar with the reader was a bloke we used to see quite regularly and we would often buy him a cup of tea until one morning he popped into Piccolo's, bought two coffees with a bank card and brought them out to us. Very surreal moment, being bought coffee by a homeless bloke.This should be on the Jokes thread, Shirley.

Agreed, if anyone asks for change for a cuppa, I offer to buy the cuppa which is usually met with "f*** off".I saw a TV programme about professional beggars in London. It was horrific. The person doing the documentary was shocked to see an old man sleeping on the streets, he had a catheter and a bag just to illustrate his poor health. The bloke on the TV show befriended him and asked how he became homeless. Homeless the fella said, I've got a three bed semi in Liverpool but two weeks down her begging covers the mortgage.
Another invited him back to his flat in Dartford for the night, ordered a takeaway on there way back.
It pisses me off. I'd like to help people out on the streets but you just don't know if they are genuine or not. Far easier to help out the street charities so I do that instead.
He also takes American Express but cannot give receiptsThis should be on the Jokes thread, Shirley.
