Brits are hoarding ‘physical cash’…

As is often true, the ordinary people have more sense than their leaders.

I always keep cash just in case of power outages in the future. All our stores in my area still accept cash. I’m in the U.K. and things are dire here.

I keep hearing that from various sources. I wish a few of my fellow Americans knew more about it, because it might serve as cautionary. So far, where I live, people still “party like it’s 1928.” I did shock one retired nurse by telling her about Starmer’s cuts for fuel subsidies (sorry if I get the story garbled - I just knew people were worried about low income elderly) - she got very quiet & stared at me.
Sorry for the troubles. I even heard in Europe this spring, people were told to get iodine tablets “just in case of war.” Crazy times.

A lot of the post planscamdemic scaremongering has clearly not worked. When I visit supermarkets (grocery stores) in UK I see quite a few people prepared to queue for the cash self service machines. The British love a queue by the way 
My experience is other than big retail chains like the supermarkets it is mainly trendy coffee shops who are operating a no cash policy.
Other retailers seem to be happy to welcome with open arms anyone with legal tender.
Here is Jeremy Corbyns brother Piers giving Aldi a piece of his mind and asserting his RIGHT to pay with legal tender for his strawberries.
Gawd bless you Piers and up yours Aldi
