Agreed. I would love to see a law requiring businesses to accept cash where possible. That sort of law already exists at state and local levels in the US, would like to see it adopted in the UK.

There already is a lawyer in the UK that says that.

One would think that there would be more than just one lawyer who says that.. Oh well.. :)
