Author: James Burden. Imagine you're in the queue at the car park pay-on-exit machine. You become aware that a young mum at the front of the queue is talking to the assistant.

You have to pay with cash," "No, there's no cash machine," "No, you'll have to walk all the way back to the shopping centre and find a cash point," "No, there's no other option.".

Author: Sally Heaven. Almost everything these days is online. I do a LOT of shopping online. I file my taxes online.
