Re: Cash on Hand (CoH)

Yes,we always have COH.It helps that I am paid in cash.Plastic is ok when there is power or the terminals are working.Its also useful for paying tradesmen and "getting a good deal"because vat bumps the bill up!

Re: Run to the hills?

I cannot stress-out about this subject anymore.There are some things in life you have to just hope for the best.After all,when was the last time there was a mass evacuation of the general population in the uk?
