Hello all, can anybody enlighten me as to why 'The Club' are showing sites full yet pitches are available to non club members? I've heard of this before and dismissed it but it has arisen yet again. Thanks.

It's not access to cash, Easy, I just can't be bothered with the hassle of the medieval idea of carting around metal discs and odd shaped pieces of paper.

Never a problem for me Nav. It is rare that I have less than £80 in my wallet. Presently £125 and all in fivers so change at ice cream van not a problem. £150 in drawer in front room to pay the tenner every 4 weeks for window cleaner and £25 a fortnight for grass cutting. £200 in sock drawer. When away £150 in both car and caravan is the norm - all in fivers

Some businesses do everything cash free, some businesses rely solely upon cash, most do a mix of both. But what is truly amusing is that some customers actually choose to limit their options........😂😂😂

And then tell us it is the way forward🤣🤣🤣

I seldom carry much cash nowadays, but usually have a few scheckels and groats about my person or car. For this odd times that crop up. Anyone come across a public convenience yet that allows you to swipe before entry (if you’ll pardon the pun!)?

There are plenty that let you "go" for free.

Similar  Rockers,  BUT  I  have  noticed  my  'plastic'  is  due  to  expire  whilst  I  am  away  Dahn  Sarf.  Will  the  natives  be  willing  to  wait  until  I  pass  their  way  in  a  few  months  time  ??

Just to throw in my twopenceworth - I am amazed at the high percentage of small independent businesses that DO NOT take card payments. (or cheques for that matter). Cash only.  So embarassing if you want to buy a bag of chips or an ice-cream and do not carry cash.

 When touring the Western Isles last year, Cheques or Cash were the main means of paying for sites. Evidently folk were desperately trying to keep their Bank Branches open and were refusing Cards. Poor WiFi means that Card machines dont work all over the islands.  A sign for rural areas without good broadband.  In a lot of areas cash is STILL king.

Good luck in some cafes that I have used in Scotland. I am sure that ALL ice cream vans will really welcome your custom

 Nah , just keep you hostage until your ransom is paid in gold sovereigns.
