    Yeah. It's bollocks.

    And what's this crap about us paying them around 40 billion nicker? If the EU was properly organised, there would be an established contingency fund that every country chips into to cover costs if one leaves.

There is now only one bank within a couple of miles, though it is near some shops - see next para, so most of the time there are two cash dispensers accessible even on Sunday - if they actually have any money in them!

    A recent development is that some shops - for example the Coop - now have free cash dispenser machines, which is fine if people are aware of this, and also if the shops are open. Our local Post Office closed and was relocated into a very small shop - and the postal services and other services still function quite well in that, but the ultimate threat is to close POs completely. Getting cash on a Sunday can quite often be very difficult, and sometimes it is useful to have cash then.

    Re cheques - they are still useful, and there are also some circumstances and some very special places where cash may be difficul.- http://theclinkcharity.org/the-clink-restaurants/ and cheques are the way to go.

    Just got me a new laptop. Well, new second hand. Fujitsu Lifebook A series. No idea of it is any good in the range of these things but has all the things my old one didn't. Numeric keypad, disc drive, memory... and it's massive. Lovely condition too, looks brand new.

    It does; my old one was always sticky with beer spills so it will no doubt be put to the test.
