00:00Yeah, absolutely. Once again, economics, if you've got credit cards, bank accounts and

00:07things, it's probably fine living in a cashless society. But, you know, my income now is such

00:15that I can't be just electronically kind of pressing buttons. You know, I've got to keep

00:23pounds and pence in my head.

00:24I definitely have been using cash less and less because it's been less and less of an

00:29option in many places. Literally yesterday I was going to pay with cash and they told

00:34me I couldn't because it's a cashless restaurant. But yeah, I think that it's definitely important.

00:39Again, just being able just to pay online is a form of discrimination. Obviously, someone

00:48who doesn't have a mobile phone, personally, I'm back into analog, someone who doesn't

00:56have a mobile phone, it just basically says about your social status.
