Indeed, I'm acting just like any UK resident does when he runs out of
cash: I go and look for an ATM.

I'm afraid, Mr Perry, that you are projecting again. I venture that most
people that run out of cash look in their wallet before going to the ATM,
but perhaps you have evidence otherwise?

Well, duh! Obviously - as where else do you keep your cash???? And
when you have looked in your wallet and found that you have no cash,
what do you do? You go to the nearest ATM, of course!

No, Annabel, *you* go to the nearest ATM; I use the twenty quid behind my
biz cards set aside precisely for that purpose. That way I continue to
enjoy my friends' company at the pub, while you are searching the high
street for a bank leaving others wondering why you always disappear just
before your round.

If dodging your round and looking for banks is how you wish to spend your
life, fine. Just don't imagine that's how the rest of us wish to spend
ours.

Of all the foolish statements you have made on this thread, I think that
one is the most foolish.

This from a woman who believes in taking international flights without
carrying a penny in cash!
