I see the Olivers are giving it a go but a lot of older people are struggling. Oddly enough I only use cash in places like bars and cafes etc but it would not be much of a leap to go cashless. I know that Gregorys are on the way out but do you think bangers and mash will follow?

Is a cashless Society feasible - yes if everyone is forced into.
Do we want a cashless society, my take is NO. I dont want the Bnks (and then the Government) knowing about my every move thank you. I thin there will be a backlash at some point when a TwitFace type scandal comes out.
Personally I tend only to use cash for going down the local shops or the pub. I use it for the former because having been a small shopkeeper I know how much Banks clobber you on each transaction. For the later after the heady days of the late 80's early 90's where one lobbed an Amex gold card over the bar in the City and then proceed to attempt in drinking all their champagne, I have learnt my lesson on big wakeup bills the next morning! I woud not want that anymore so it's cash down the 'Spoons now.

"you'd put £2 on your child's cash allowance card and he'd loose 72P to tax."
Before you go completely round the twist, please explain the above, spathi. What tax would be payable by whom and what for? And what tax rate in the UK is set at 36%?
There is virtually no need for cash now. I draw very little cash from the bank now. What I do use is generally for tips in restaurants where I want be sure the recipient and not the proprietor gets the cash. If I had to do away with tat it would be no big deal.
Just try doing without it spathi and you'll soon learn to manage.
