- Shoppers at Sainsbury’s and Asda were among those who complained that their card payments were blocked on Thursday morning, leaving some supermarkets only able to accept cash.
The supermarkets apologised to customers who said they could not pay for their shopping due to the technical issues.
Talk’s Peter Cardwell discusses the story with financial and business journalist Jasmine Birtles.
They also talk about news that household water bills in England and Wales are to rise by an average of £19 a year over the next five years.

Cash is king.
Simple as that.
Cash is king
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 THIS IS WHY CASH IS KING AND ALWAYS WILL BE.
I only use cash no problems and so flexible nice and East does it every time CASH WILL ALWAYS BE KING
same here I have NEVER used Card or digital in a store or shop... If they demand it I simple leave.. and only once in the past 10 years had that issue...
Loved seeing the trolleys and produce left blocking self checkouts and isles i always use cash and am normally made to feel awkward. I left my trolley with my Groceries in , as I walked by I waved my cash and said it's normally an inconvenience to you, love to see the inconvenience returned whilst you put ALL THAT SHOPPING BACK ON THE SHELVES. I CANT STOP SMILING NOW. Any service provider who takes CARD ONLY NEEDS TO REVISIT THEIR DECISIONS NOW !!!! It's only gonna get worse, there are going to be power cuts this winter due to the new government policy GOOD LUCK
What about if you lose your card, it gets stolen etc , what will you do then !
What about the fact that the bank can suspend your card at will !
This is all leading to control of your financial activity and ultimately
your behaviour. Ultimately this will be used to control you yourselves,
consider committing a speeding offence or minor infringement like
not paying a bill on time, the banks / Government can and will
use this power over you and myself to gain the control they desire.
It's not a game people, time to wake up !!
START USING CASH OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.
@Ramit16 Ultimately the Govt/Banks would be able to control what you could actually purchase!
Go and look at @together. The vlog about China is really scary.
Greedy water companies ,taking the piss out of all of us,water is an essential utilty, the water companies should be serving end users not Shareholders.
Time to get personal water filtration.
Imagine if they ban cash altogether... We are so now utterly dependant on "the net", that when it goes wrong, which it does, the midde class are plunged into chaos as their avacado's and bottled water become scarce..
It's called the WEF globalist great reset agenda 21-30, Zionism, control, this is the tip of the iceberg.
Cash is economic freedom
Nearly every system that has been put online has been hacked at some point or compromised by someone losing memory sticks or by cloning etc. Banks, shopping channels, online shopping, medical records, DWP information, Facebook, emails and on and on.
And they want to get rid of Cash ?
Never we must fight to keep cash to survive & Eat 😊
Exactly
they also want it on your phone so if your phone gets nicked then you're f...ked
I always pay cash so don’t have that problem
I would love to always pay cash but it's becoming increasingly difficult. Numerous places are now not just 'card only' but 'CONTACTLESS only', can't even use chip & pin.
I turn my kitchen tap and I can smell chemicals, it's disgusting. No one in our house drinks from the tap anymore.
How about not giving the chief exec bonuses of £200k for dumping tonnes of raw sewage into our rivers and seas. That would be a good start
This morning in Torquay systems not for transactions down ,fortunately I still use cash a lot ,but lots of trolleys left as people couldn't pay
In this day and age of cybercrime and ransomware, we need to have backup systems. Hang onto your cash for a bit longer 😉😉
Basic services should NOT be a profit-driven enterprise. You then risk the option of taking those services away, or falling victim to profit-chasing rather than doing a good job. Performance in the stock market does not necessarily reflect performance at what you're supposed to be doing.
I will never be free if they can stick a meter on the end of it !!
You have to wake up, It's all about the money all of it !!
Why can’t we have competition?
We have different broadband and electric suppliers and that all comes down via the same route.
quite often, Bus Passes WONT WORK. I witnessed a man flagging down several Taxi's 3/ 4, NON would take card.
Shops can't get robbed if they have no cash in the till.
Last day of holiday went to gift shop to buy presents, couldn't because card reader was down, ergo lost revenue as they were unable to take cash at all. No back up systems in place for these occurrences 😿😡
Water companies have a nerve. Consider how much they pay dividends out.
So if and when we go completely cashless what happens to the homeless people I guess they just starve ? And can’t buy clothes and shoes .
Newsflash. Homeless people have bank accounts, phones.
If the U.K goes digital all the small independent retailers will close down, the cash they currently take home every evening will be no more. Brings to mind when the U.K went decimal and Harold Wilson said "it will not make any difference to the pound in your pocket" Yeh sure Harold! The price of everything went up!
Why should our water bills go up when they have paid out excessively to share holders?
Any country would be brought to it's knees by wiping out the internet. Scary.
Keep cash on the street i refuse to use my cards and i wont use the unmaned till keep staff on the tills ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can’t wait for the whole internet and wifi infrastructure to go down. It’ll be so entertaining watching everyone become zombies whilst those of us who haven’t become tech morons continue to live our lives🤣🤣🤣
Amenities should never of been privatised.
Won’t be long now before we can’t afford water
When another 10 million move in
You need to be more respectful to migrants.
Who would have thought this can happen 😂😂😂😂
Go to the Bank and get CASH and stop being LAZY!
It's not laziness, the banks have closed all the branches. Yes, there are ATMs elsewhere, but why should I pay £2.50 to withdraw my own money?
anyone got 50pence for the supermarket the meter needs filling
At least with cash I'm only spending the money that I've got and I'm not racking rack up debt spending money on cards I haven't got. In the old days it was called buying on the slate or tick because you couldn't afford to pay . It's so easy just to stick it on the card ,that's why some people get thousands into debt and can't keep up with the repayments. Just think if you had to pay for every little item you bought separately and have to go through your monthly bill with a fine tooth comb to make sure it's correct, you could end up with a bill as long as your arm To go through.
I refuse to pay by card it's Companies trying to rip you off
😂😂😂 That's right! All those ATMs won't work if the digital system is interrupted! 😂😂😂 I've got news for you about ATMs in a digital currency system! 😂😂😂
If they don't tke cash I don't use the business
They cant stop hackers aswell as the syatems going down i use cash alot more than my debit card
I be getting a shower next,End the baths completely,It will help save costs of water,Also switch the tap on when its needed,Also help save costs on the water bill
Much more easy for bank fraud etc.
The reality is a virtual cashless bank has excellent security but the further away the client in terms of technology is from that bank the less the security is, where is in a brick and mortar bank the clients shares the security with the bank.
Everyone on the planet living by Online Network -

Cashless society is coming research mark of the beast . John 3:16
Try this BS overseas. Got my currency for a holiday
I have not used cash for years and it is very rare that you cannot use digital payment. Any problems that may arise will be resolved quickly.
More fool you
My local shops card machines went down after a thunderstorm fried the circuit boards. Was cash only for 11 days till they were fixed. Disabled and don't drive, with no other shop anywhere near. So.... Not resolved quickly in this instance. Good job I had emergency cash!
He might well know what he's talking about but am I the only one who finds his accent irritating?

Use cash power to the people
Cash is king
