Bogart

I wouldn't know how to look at them being a Luddite myself.

Just had a look at my set and yes they do look nice, in the same case too. I have started off the TB series but am wondering if worth the hassle. Probably be pushing up daisies before RM actually finish the series.

Cash versus card. Recenly bought some hifi from a local chap who runs a business out of his house. Was going to give him cash until he told me every time he deposits cash in his bank they take a slice. Him being a business he is treated differently
to an individual. Suppose will all be sorted by the time we get an ID card implanted in ones brain. 1984 just around the corner.

In my view this ties in with the reasons people have doorbell cameras these days or CCTV outside their house as though they're a supermarket. Even road users have cameras including those obnoxious cyclists with stupid GoPros on their head, ready to record and report anyone who pisses them off. All these cameras give the illusion of security but why do they feel they need for security? It's because 1) we're constantly being told to live in fear of the next big threat, and 2) we're indeed turning into a 3rd world country with 3rd world crimes on the rise. The semi-amusing thing is crime is rising in spite of the cameras. Criminals won't stop just because people put up these placebo cameras which their consumerism made them think their new toy will keep them safe.
It's the same with digital payments. Hacking of bank or PayPal accounts happens with monotonous regularity. Then of course there is the easy theft of digital payments by the governments either through taxation or inflation. Businesses are still safer off using cash and saving more money that way.
P.S. I saw a till worker in Boots wearing a bodycam the other day which I thought was rude, and then there are the self-service machines at Tesco which display your face up close. Surely any thief would walk out of the shop with their loot without coming to the self service machine in the first place? But it's us who actually pay, who get our faces filmed up close. I always cover the cameras with my glove. Wish I could have done that to that mare's bodycam too, but that would have intruded on her personal space.
Went off on a tangent towards the end but hey this is the random rant thread! I do want to slap those Go-Pro cyclists though, they're just looking to start trouble!

isnt that where most of the frauds that the banks are protecting you from originate?

That's a certainty unless Starmer comes out as a transgendered communist sexually fluid Russian Orthodox hippopotamus!
And even then...

Knew there must be a reason.

Thanks @Fadeingstar for the update. Can't wait to use my one!
