    I haven't, really, had any contact with UK for the better part of 20 years.

    Do supermarkets still offer "cash back" with purchases? That gets them cleared funds in their account immediately and, of course, reduces their cash holding.

    I don't suppose that there is the demand there used to be for night sfae facilities either.

    Not unlike yourself Chubby I am finding myself out of touch in the field of cash handling. Banks, supermarkets, and department stores don't seem to have the same need of physical protection as I remember and now appear to be adopting 'cash management' systems.

    A friend of mine, now passed on sadly, worked in the security department of one of the Scottish Banks and told me that somewhere in Head Office there is a letter written by him in the 1970's on the subject of ATMs in which he wrote "they will never catch on"!

    What, I wonder, would he have prophetised of Cash Management.
