| Post subject: | Leamington Parade |
The Parade in Leamington is now closed off to traffic, for why I am not clear. But it was pleasant with more shops opening, apart from not knowing where the heck to catch the bus from. Went into Waterstones for a certain book , produced cash for payment but the girl at the till informs me that they are only accepting card payment, so I said, fine no business then, cheerio! I went to W.H. Smiths and got what I wanted, plus a few other items, no problem , paid cash. I think folks are getting a bit too paranoid in shops. I'm glad I went into W.H. Smiths, they have a reduction on books. |

Glad you got what you went for Margaret. To be fair, the girl on the till was likely only following orders but it's so silly. I have an idea that a sub agenda is developing to wean us off cash and onto electronic payments: all under the 'it's COVID' guise. I have, and sometimes use, electronic methods; but far prefer cash unless it's for a large sum. The powers that be don't like cash as it's untraceable! Waterstone's loss I'd say, Margaret. |

Agreed , cash is one of the few ways we seem to have left that we can express our self-autonomy. It is interesting that during this present business there has been a huge push for everyone to do banking and transactions online, where the agenda is transparent, which I will never do. |
