Even before this virus was going about, I always used contact less anyway.
I see people use it but it looks a little slow to me.
When I get to the tills, my cash transaction is instant.

I tap the machine with the card, 5 seconds later "beep".. Paid.
Out the door, done.. Can't get faster than that

Nah, nah, I watch this all the time and there's always a delay.
Cash is faster.

No way.
I see this every time I go shopping.
Also with the correct change this is lightning fast.

Nothing is quicker than putting a card against a machine, it beeping, and walking away.
You don't have to hand money over, the person putting it in the till, giving you change back..
Plus its safer, I'd rather carry a card than cash

Well, all I am saying is that in Aldi there is ALWAYS a delay in card transactions while my cash goes straight through.
I don't know about Tesco because I use the self-service tills there.

Nationwide's Instant ISA Saver Issue 18, remember this is an ISA, the interest rate is 0.01.
Invest £1,000 in here for a year and you will get back 10p after one year.
If you have £9,999 in this account you will get a staggering £1.00 for the same period.
It's been a long time since I looked at interest rates but these are shocking because years ago an ISA was worth having as you don't pay tax on the interest earned.
I think I will spend wisely instead
