Images of items I have purchased (except trainers)

I've only bought one of those other /alternative/ wallets before, which I returned! The Ted Baker one this has replaced lasted maybe just over a year. I use all the cards often and the right side slots have started to fail at the ends, the glue they use has come undone and sticks to the card edges. Not really great wallets long term being used and abused multiple times a day really, especially given the price.

Life will be much easier when all stores can simply scan the loyalty card app on the phone screen, as well as accept contactless payments. Until then, 11 cards must be carried

Love your photos, mrk! Always perfect.

Thanks! Although that pic is just a standard pic I guess

Got this Trove "wallet". Been looking for a card type wallet that wasn't too simple in terms of pockets, but not too thick either. This is thinner than my old wallet when this is packed with 11 cards.

Also, made in Engurlund. Gotta support the locals :cool:[/QUOTE]

Have you had a look at the "Tag" accessory they have for it? I've been after a thin wallet like this for a while but haven't found one I particularly fancy.

I have, but it doesn't apply to my uses as anywhere I use contactless, I use my phone (up to £100).

i think mrk has gone through about 5 of these "wallet" whilst I am still on the same one I had 5 years ago.

I've had the same wallet for about 10 years now. I've bought a few over the years, used it for a few days then decided nope and sent it back to then continue with my trusty one.

Unless its a daily occurrence the loyalty card isn't needed to be in your wallet. Can go you in your man bag.

silversurfer · 7 Aug 2016 at 23:44

There are key ring fobs that work for that, not sure its always given out but tesco has one

Why do you carry your driving license? I can think of no reason why you need to carry this?

Mine just sits in the car.

It's a form of ID.

Alcohol purchase, getting into clubs, hiring guns in American

, renting a car, picking up parcels at the depot, lots of things.

Buying alcohol? Do you look 12?

I take it you agree with me then since you deleted the rest of my posts.

Still don't see the need. I have never needed to use any form of ID outside bar such places as the airport.

The reason it sits in my car and this goes for must in NI I bet, comes from the days of army checkpoints and getting stopped at least twice in one day. But that is long gone.

You can look 20 and still get asked for ID. A lot of stores have a policy whereby anyone looking under 25 will be asked.

My wife is 36 and got ID'd in Waitrose yesterday. I witnessed this, before anyone suggests she's telling tall stories!

I personally carry my driving licence around because it's less effort to just carry it and never need it, than to not carry it and wish you had it.

Also ease of ID in the event that you're injured/killed.
