International disgrace - look at the Dutch state railway TVM issues
(unless they've fixed it?).

I want CJB to show us one, just one, tourist in London for the
Olympics who does not hold a debit card and exclusively uses cash.

I'm thinking of visitng Blighty from the True North later this year
(after the Olys), and do not possess a debit card, nor have any
intention of obtaining one.

So it's credit card or cash.

So that's fine: all the machines take them.

But you're the one who is arguing about "debit" card usage. I wuz
saying I'm one who doesn't hold a "debit" card... debit and credit
cards (at least here in Canaduh) are two very different instruments.
