Ah , you're an endless source of amusement sometimes.

That "obselete metal based payment" is a shed load quicker that using
a credit card and when theres a large queue of people that matters. A
LOT!

Personally I find it intensely irritating when I'm in a queue in the
supermarket or wherever, when some dick has to pay for a few quids
worth of goods by card because they're too lazy to carry cash and so
they delay everyone else.
