I feel very secure when people pay me in cash.

I couldn't even tell you the last time I used cash.

I'm conducting a little cash free experiment myself at the moment. I've had the same backup £10 in my wallet for about 6 weeks.

The only time I need cash is at the barbers and I'm not switching as they're both big blues.

The only time I ever use cash is when I go to one of the rice & three curry cafes in the northern quarter on my lunch break once a week, they don't take cards.

And I mean that's *literally* the only time I've used cash in about four years.

Might go there today actually.

PB my phone is exactly the same. Just slip the card out and show it to the ‘reader’ thingymabob and Bob’s your uncle all done no hassle. :-)

I always wondered why Uncle Bob only appears when things are going well. When things go badly wrong, he's nowhere to be seen....

I don’t think I’ve used cash or even held any money since before this Covid stuff began.

I drew £100 in January and have £15 left!! I pay the window cleaner cash every 6 weeks (he cleans the windows once a fortnight but it is easier to pay him the £21 for 6 weeks) and gave the Great Grandchildren some money for their holidays and paid my Supporters Club fees on Monday. I shall draw some cash this weekend just for emergencies.

Incidentally, the phrase "Bob's your uncle" has a City connection.

It was coined due to Arthur Balfour getting his big political break by becoming private secretary to his uncle, Lord Salisbury, who was the prime minister. He then became an MP, first for Hertford then for East Manchester, where he was a City patron.

Lord Salisbury's real name was Robert Cecil, hence the phrase 'Bob's your uncle" was used to describe getting what you want via nepotism/cronyism.

I hope that one day that is a question on Pointless/The Chase/Mastermind and thanks to all the trivia on Bluemoon I will be able to answer it correctly!!!

I can't to find it on Google,but did Arthur Balfour have anything specifically to do with City?
E.g. was he a patron/ director of the club? Did he visit Hyde Road on official business? etc.
