I carry a wallet. Always right front trouser/shorts pocket.

I carry several bank & credit cards (4-5), drivers licence, store cards, waitrose gift card(which we continually top) English heritage and national trust cards.

I will normally be carrying some cash and coins. There are still a few cash only places like barber, fish & chips and drug dealers.

Very rarely. Day to day I just use Google pay and I don't believe it ever asks you to put your pin in, unlike contactless. (I certainly can't recall it ever prompting me).

I use 'get cash' if I ever need some cash. I absolutely hate having cash.... I think it's only the odd kebab shop that doesn't take card.

I do take a small card wallet if we're away on holiday.

Still have a wallet with coin pouch and have done since I was old enough to carry money. Always goes in right front pocket. Hate having loose cash in pockets because it falls out.

Driving license, 2 debit cards, 2 credit cards, Tesco clubcard and breakdown cover card are what goes in it.

Wallet with 2 nandos cards, 2 debit cards, 3 credit cards, drivers license, covid cards, cash. It's a big skinny wallet so can take coins in the cash compartment just don't turn it upside down.

I also still store 20 quid in the back of my phone for emergencies.

Mobile and a card.
Sometimes if its something local (chemist) I'll take a little cash, their payment systems are frequently down.

Can we have tea instead of coffee with the biccy?

Never did use a wallet, hated them. I carried my cards in a plastic flip open thing that was once a bus pass holder. I had very little change so could spare a pocket for it and notes were kept in the plastic flippy thing kept in my inside jacket pocket. Now I have a metal case that cost me couple of quid from Amazon. Been using debit since 2003 and pretty much solely used my phone for payments since 2019 so don't carry my case that often either.. House keys, car keys and phone, good to go.
