I think all the grounds in the Gallagher Premiership are card only.
For so long as the tender IS legal

I also note that the Z generation (or whatever you call them) do not use cash or cards. They go out into the world armed with only their mobile phone. And, in the event that they run out of battery, they borrow a friend's phone. They use Apple Pay or Google Pay to make payments, and apps for taxis and Ubers and Deliveroo. Everything is on the phone.

If there was a run on the banks surely we would all be in serious trouble, the doors would shut fairly quickly. One school of thought is that a run is quite possible!
Meanwhile;
Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
And janitors padlock the gates for security guards to patrol...

Nope.
Entirely untrue.
This is a curious fringe belief that was associated with the ‘Sovereign citizen’ movement for a long time, but which has suddenly exploded online. Probably in reaction to the increasing threats to cash.
It has absolutely no basis in fact at all.

Shopkeepers are welcome to accept stamps - or anything else, including dollars and euros - but not obliged to accept any form of payment, even Sterling. Legal tender means that you cannot refuse it as payment for a court ordered debt payment.

There was that lovely story (God I hope it's true).
A lady paying her fare on the bus, did not enough cash and tried to pay the balance with a stamp.
The conductor declined to accept the stamp in part-payment.
Up pipes another passenger.
"Stamps are legal tender and you have to accept it".
The conductor acquiesces, takes the cash and stamp in payment and gives the lady her ticket.
The second passenger pays for his fare with £5 note.
The conductor gave him his change in coins and the stamp...

Living in Scotland, you learn very fast that shopkeepers can refuse legal tender. First time you travel back down South and try to pay with a Scottish fiver…

On a recent trip North of the Wall, I dropped off a load of ammunition to an SD member on behalf of another SD member.
The buyer handed me a wad of Scottish (beautiful) notes.
When I returned South, I handed that wad over to the lad in the Home Counties, I just knew that I was handing him an envelope full of grief.
Gold, Silver, Gems, Dollars or Bonds forget them. Large Rifle Primers. that's the future.
Never happened to me. I travel to and fro to Scotland every week as I'm doing up a house there and my wallet always has Scottish notes in it. Never had one refused in England. I do live in the north east though, where Scottish currency flows back and forth across the border all the time.
The self service tills in supermarkets always accept Scottish notes as well.
They are lovely notes. I particularly like the otters on the tenner.
