Cashless society punting

[winkywanky]

I suspect as long as birds want handbags, perfume and dresses then there'll be incognito ways of paying for them, like gift vouchers, just more electronic.

Remember Cynthia Payne and her Luncheon Vouchers?

IIRC, the luncheon voucher system was so that no money had changed hands, therefore her gaff (where she actually held all the parties) couldn't be considered a brothel, and therefore illegal. It wasn't to do with tax.

...although maybe it was the tax dodging they eventually got her on, just like Al Capone? 
 
Also worth noting that Horizontal Pleasures of this very Parish used to frequent her parties

I recall a story where a politician received furniture in stead of cold cash.

If cash disappeared, perhaps London punters could hand-over an Oyster card, pre-loaded with the SP's fee? Would bring a bit more excitement to 'touching in and touching out' 

Or just pay in a different currency, Dollars, Euro, Swiss Franc ect

cash will NEVER disappear, its far too useful
