Stupid little things that bug you

Bang on. If you get cash as a business, declare it and pay tax on it, so what.
If you then pay your staff in cash, with them paying the relevant tax, so what !

The Government, which ever one is in power, make you believe cash is always a fiddle.
Bollocks.
They need the banks to make millions, they need everyone in line like supplicant rats.

@Bill Walker all I saw in Sydney especially the suburbs were small business wanting, asking, for cash. Banks charge too much, fuck 'em.

The banks want their 'pound of flesh'.

If they’re avoiding tax then that’s a different matter altogether and they’re putting their entire livelihood at risk in doing so. Doesn’t alter the fact that there’s billions of pounds lost to the U.K. economy each year in card fees, money which these businesses could have used for the benefit of their customers or other businesses.

Yes that's fair enough but you also have to face the fact that billions are lost to the treasury each year in the UK due to tax avoidance and a large part of the tax avoidance is the cash economy.
And those billions could be spent on things like the national health service or schools or better roads or public transport.
It's the same here I'm building a house at the moment and I'm sick of tradies asking me if I want to pay cash or through the bank. Obviously if I pay cash it doesn't go through the books.

Anyway I don't want to steer the thread away from its purpose by turning it into a sort of political thread, I think I started it I saying it bugs me when people insist I pay in cash when I haven't carried cash for over five years and I don't want to start queuing up in a bank to get cash or using an ATM.
I usually tell them I'm happy to pay a bit extra for the transaction fee like I do with Aldi but they don't want to know.

I really wouldn't trust politicians or town hall officials (Hell any public body) to distribute wealth taken by means of tax, they'll either build a statue commemorating some dead head or give it away to someone abroad to make them feel better.

There have been 2 occasions in the last week where a business hasn't been able to use an electronic transaction, thankfully I carry cash some of it older than it should be.

Below is my latest purchase :)

When I passed my 11+ in 1969, my granddad gave me a new 10/- note.
I felt rich!
A 50p coin given now would not have the same effect - lol.

Stupid shit on The News.

Just watching BBC Breakfast, and they think that one of the most important things going on in the world today that we should all know about is a koala walking about in a railway station in a small town in Aus.

I’d skip past that on YouTube for fuck’s sake.

The BBC are definitely the worst for this .Bigging up a non event to the headlines because it involves them. Like recently some teenage kid sat at his key board the other side of Europe stirring up shit about the race riots. It took a news crew 2 weeks on an all expenses jolly in to Europe to track him down so it became the 6 o’clock news headlines on BBC1. The kid just hid his face when questioned and the local police just said we can do fuck all. What a waste of money.

It's quite bizarre that there's genuinely people that listen to these stories and intrigued by them I genuinely find it mental, I know people are different but this is one of many things that I find nuts in life, You'd have to be an absolute clown to find this interesting.

As you said the BBC are dripping with this nonsense, It's been forced down people's throats too. They are certainly the worst news outlet out there for this kind of stuff.

This is on the BBC website front page right now, I couldn't guess if it was an Anne Summers type of thing or a straight-up piss take :)
