Certainly beats dirty Douglas into a cocked hat! Wild horses couldn’t drag me back to live there🙂 Air's better and much lighter. just don't live in the surrounding glens.

Certainly beats dirty Douglas into a cocked hat! Wild horses couldn’t drag me back to live there🙂 I’ve lived in Ramsey for 15 years now, of course it has its problems but I don’t think there’s anywhere else I’d rather live on the Island (not till the kids move out and I can retire to PSM anyway). The annoying thing is the potential is there for it to be much more. Along with BladeRunners ideas I’d like to see some provision on the North Shore prom for food outlets and other business ventures, along with the Mooragh park it could make that half of the town a real destination. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives you a list of everything you spent going back years, and can be managed with a few keystrokes a month. Then the banking app will do whatever you want electronically, even to the extent of depositing a cheque. All far too easy to bother with cash. I appreciate that I am creating a data trail of everything I spend money on and everywhere I go, but I really couldn't give a toss about that. I won't physically pay with my phone though. Don't like the idea of that at all. I've worked with computers for virtually my whole career but I hark back to an analogue generation in my youth. Like others who have commented I do have very mixed feelings about all of this and I harbour guilt over indulging my laziness. We do make one concession to codgerish caution in our house. We keep a bundle of notes in a tin as a contingency for the day when we all wake up and there's been a solar flare or something more prosaic like a cyber attack on the UK and bugger all works electronically. I appreciate we'll have bigger problems when that happens, but it does afford a little comfort to think you could actually walk down the road and buy something from an independent shopkeeper who can still practice the ancient art of reckoning up. The most puzzling thing about this situation is who is using all the cash? You might think it's very much in decline from comments like we have here but there is more in circulation than ever. Since 2014 growth in cash is 3 times the rate of inflation. https://www.statista.com/statistics/319453/uk-banking-notes-and-coin/ Which puts me in mind of this (mathematical bollocks): https://youtu.be/8JoERQE7EFA Edited January 26, 2023 by Andy Onchan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
