Thanks for all the people who have messaged asking where we have been in the last year at the Warners Motorhome Shows. We decided in February 2024 before the Harrogate show that it would be the last year for us as at the previous Christmas, my wife Christine celebrated her 70th birthday and I, on Christmas Day, celebrated my 72nd birthday. At the Harrogate show, we set up and had a good show and at the end of the show, packed up and were ready to load our trailer. A certain helper who usually helps us, spent 20 minutes loading our trailer along with another trader. Usually, I paid the helper but as he had only helped for 20minutes I thought that the special clock, that he had asked for, that took me 3 hours to produce, would have been sufficient for payment. But no.he complained to his partner and he put his cost up by 50%.therefore, I spent the rest of the trading year, putting my own marquess up and setting up my stand. At the end of the year, I sold off my 2 marquess, and trailer which I was going to give to my helper for him to carry on selling my goods. So now if you want any of my personalised clocks, check me out on Ebay.

All set up for our very last trading show. Going to retire properly and enjoy life.

Why should we pay cash everywhere with banknotes instead of a card ?

- I have a £50 banknote in my pocket. Going to a restaurant and paying for dinner with it.

The restaurant owner then uses the bill to pay for the laundry.

The laundry owner then uses the bill to pay the barber.

The barber will then use the bill for shopping.

After an unlimited number of payments, it will still remain a £50 value, which has fulfilled its purpose to everyone who used it for payment and the bank has jumped dry from every cash payment transaction made.

BUT

IF I come to a restaurant and pay digitally via Card,

- the bank fees for my payment transaction charged to the seller are 3%, so around £1.50

( and so will be the fee of £1.50 for each further payment transaction )

-for the owner re laundry or
- payments of the owner of the laundry shop,
- or payments of the barber etc.....

Therefore, after 30 transactions, the initial £50 will exist at only £5, and the remaining £45 has become the property of the bank … thanks to all of the digital transactions and fees!

Use it or lose it folks…

Once it’s gone we won’t get it back!

Cash is king!
