1) which is why I said to ensure businesses get themselves card-payment ready. They have 7 years to buy a POS

2) true, but making a payment online is very easy and very quick. I know some will say "but not everyone is online". Well again, true, but they still built roads even though not everyone had a new-fangled horseless carriage!!!

Things change. One way or another, you have to deal with it regardless of the excuses or perceived personal inconveniences. I don't like the fact I now have to pay £20 for an updated photo driving license every 10 years, but that's just the way it is. The DVLA were never going to keep paper only licenses forever!
