It's a horrid thing, but I am sure that given time people will have no other choice. They are doing away with cheque guarantee cards and once cheques go as they will, credit cards will be the only things left - or debit cards of course. I remember postal orders!!!

And people who don't want credit cards will be walking ATMs for muggers, carrying around that other alternative .......... cash!

No - historical accuracy got lost but it was interesting that Thomas Tallis appeared as a bit of a rake. My fav piece of classical music is Variations on a Theme of Thomas Tallis by R Vaughan Williams - never realised the Theme was that old!

the correct answer is St Andrews
Question 3.Which trophy, which has been played for since 1900, has often been called "The ugliest salad bowl in the world"?
