My local shop does not accept any card, but has a cashpoint outside, and a sub Post Office Branch inside open from 09.00-1800 (so I can make withdrawals of under £10!) as well as posting various things overseas

It's unusual here to have a convenience store which refuses any cards for any purchase, but Mr Shah was old when I shopped there as a child, and he's a canny one. It might surprise the occasional passer-through, but everyone locally knows he doesn't take cards or cheques, or give credit, so his terms are simply accepted.

Most other small establishments will only take cards for £5 or over.
S'okay by me - I make small purchases and bus journeys, so even with a debit card I have to carry cash. If I have it to start with.
