A certain amount of cash is always welcome, but for payment of bills and taxes |

Cash is always good, just in case! I was buying fuel at a garage recently when a car caught fire. Everything went into lock down and only cash could be used to pay. I was the only one who had enough on me to pay for my fuel. The others were all delayed having to queue to complete lengthy forms before they could go. |

Few of us haven't been an eejit at some time in our lives David so don't get stuck in that deep rut of self blame. As they say 'don't look back as you aren't going that way'. |

This is one reason I don't want to own a house and consider my rent to be good value. |

Apart from myself, who else has left their account in the same bank branch since 1968? ;-) |

David, your GP isn't allowed to write you off as not being the full shilling! To make that assessment GP's have to do umpteen tests, consult another GP and, get a Psychiatrist report. I'm sure others on this forum have discussed this with you and pointed out the same thing. It's a long thorough, painstaking procedure not something a GP is allowed to assess without additional professional input. So not to consult your GP when you feel it its necessary is just not sensible. If you feel uncomfortable, then change your GP or find another Practice |

I started a TSB savings account when I started High School in 1964 because they had a scheme where you put your book and money in an envelope which was posted into a box in the hall and they did whatever they did and returned the book in time for next week with an envelope. |

The fact their notes didn't have any mention of what they told you at the time means just that David. That things couldn't be proved one way or the other doesn't mean you lost......more a checkmate really as nothing could be concluded. Do you not think your GP would have done the same in your shoes? For all you know she may secretly sympathise. |

David we use a certain amount of cash drawn each week to fund visits to coffee shops, papers, the window cleaner other small buys.. I write a cheque ever 8 weeks for my chiropodist who doesn't take credit cards. We also, at the moment pay one of the seldom used credit cards by cheque, this card only used abroad as no extra payment to put payments into GBP we can't pay this one on line as we don't belong to their bank. Other than that we use mainly credit cards for everything. |

David, you took your eye off the ball as you were not yourself having had that very nasty accident and all the problems that followed. It must have been a very worrying time for you. See it as a lesson learned. |

Indeed David, look on the whole episode as a lesson learnt! We've all made mistakes in our lives, we hopefully learn by them and put them behind us. You can't change the past, what's done is done, but we can all learn by the past and make different choices in the future. Your GP may well view your situation with sympathy, but unless you chat to him/her you'll simply never find out! |

We use cash a lot .................. we refuse to use debit cards as there have been so many frauds involving the readers. I even refuse to tap or touch the screen with a credit card for the same reason. |
