    Wish more people had Monzo tbh, it's so useful.

    Other day, in the pub, doesn't serve food, owner is like eh if you bring food in you can eat it. Guy goes next door for a chinese, ask him to grab me something, monzo's me a request for a fiver, one click, paid.

    Out for food, split the bill, monzo lets you split it, etc.

    Only wish it would automatically top itself up.

    Oh and you get a link you can give people to pay you via google pay so even non users can transfer you money.

      If you don't carry cash, how do you light a cigar with a £50 note in front of the beggar?

        So you don't check your bank account very often or get statements which will show when you took out cash? Time for some hacking....
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          Looking at his posts I think his next breath is a challenge let alone something as complicated as this.

            I was thinking about this at the weekend and how there a no doubt a myriad of people/organisations who are worse off because of the trend towards being cash free. Apparently Norway are very cashless and there's talk of it having gone too far.

            I rarely have cash but oddly do always take a stash on holiday.

            My main disappointment is when I can't pay for something using my Amex as I need the constant status validation that comes with flashing my metal card. I think it ought to be made of actual platinum but hey ho.

              You don't have to. But I appreciate that you do.

                Cash abroad card was cloned in South Africa which was a pain.

                      If it had a mirror finish you could also do your lippy with it as well.
