Average of £1.80 sits on each idle card.

An average of £1.80 (idle for more than a year) probably just indicates
that small sums of that nature are below most people's radar - it's
probably a lot less that the error you'd expect if I trying to guess the
quantity of change in your back pocket...

There's probably about £15.00 on mine, unused for two years because I
always use travelcards if just up for the day. I just see it as a £15
note in my wallet that I keep to one side.

So do I but I wouldn't think of leaving 15 pounds on it.

5 pounds is more than enough
