You’ll see things differently when you get old. Stuff that you master with ease now gradually becomes impossible as your mental capacity declines.

Personally, I’ve had a 20p coin in my pocket for months now as I have no need to deal in cash. But we cannot operate on an ‘I’m all right, Jack’ basis, we’ve always got to think about those who cannot cope with new technology and come up with solutions that make sense to them.

We must never cut off access to cash until we have worked that one out.
