As soon as the lockdown is lifted.I ask because both my husband and I are over seventy and my husband has been notified that he is very vulnerable because of some health issues.I was thinking maybe a fully serviced pitch where we can use our own facilities?

dont like the sound of forced ownership and always having to carry it with you, will go back to 100% cash and a completely dumb mobile phone
That does not work. No phone app = no sale. They do not accept cash anyway, but you can't pay in goats or camels either. The idea is that those who won't comply with protecting society must stay in their house and starve.

I wouldn't have any problem with having the App on my phone if it were to help us defeat COVID 19. As far as privacy is concerned somebody, somewhere already knows when I buy something on the internet, buy something in a shop or when I make a phone call. They probably record me travelling down a motorway. They probably see me in a shopping centre on CCTV so to a greater or lesser degree my privacy is pretty bust anyway.
As far as Smart Phones are concerned I expect those that don't have them probably don't realise how useful they are. It's probably a bold claim but I would suggest that since owning one it has really enhanced my ability to do things. I can keep up to date with emails, I can check the news, I can do my internet banking more securely than online. I have a mini atlas in my pocket and I can check when the next bus is or call a taxi. My diary is with me rather than hanging up in the kitchen. I can even use it as a wifi point when I want to use my laptop in the motorhome. They are amazing little things. Margaret was less than convince she should swap her little Nokia for a Smart Phone, you try taking it off her now!!! I do sometimes have pangs of regret in buying her first Smart Phone because as I slumber in the early morning I suddenly get a elbow in my back to make sure I am paying attention to the latest news story glowing out from her phone

We have a similar problem here.
The main options are....
she has no idea where it is and has also forgotten to charge the battery
she has charged the battery but did not then take it with her when she went out
she did take it, but cannot here it ringing from deep in her handbag

Posted on 28/04/2020 11:26 by rayjsjHa Ha,I am staying in because i choose to, and I was ASKED to, and am not starving.
As long as Cash is still legal tender it should be accepted as payment. No change in that situation in the UK yet.

The garage where I take my Car for service hasn't taken cash for the last 3 years. During this epidemic I hate paying with cash, much prefer card. Which now goes up to £45 for contactless. No contact with anything, perfect! A couple of our small local shops have jars of Alcohol solution and coins and even the new plastic notes go into there for sanitising.
