Change for the worse

SIR – To pay £15.20 for a kebab, I offered a £20 note and 20p.

The girl looked at me puzzled. She turned to her manager who was also perplexed. Eventually he gave me my 20p back and £4.80 change.

If we go cashless, then an inability to deal with money will go hand in hand with it – just as satnavs have bred a generation who can’t read a map and don’t know where they are.
