One pound fifty is just slightly less than the equivalent of the $3.50 I paid. Seems like I usually only paid $2.50 the other times I had to do that, it is up to the bank that places the unit.

Usually it isn't hard to find one for my bank, but that night I was fed up, ready for bed, and someone else was driving. There is also a local gas station chain that is open 24/7, provides no service ATMs, and in most parts of the city you can find one of these places every couple of blocks. But the down town area didn't have any.

Everyone has debit cards anymore, and every venue accepts them, so the only time you really need cash is when you owe a mate something, or apparently, when some fucking wrecking service steals your car and holds it ransom. Some people still seem to use cash regularly though. I don't get that. With my card all transactions I make, how much money I spent and where, is nicely listed, graphed, and charted out for me when I log into my bank account. Any transactions go through my account not made by me (ID theft), I can dispute them and get my money credited back to me.

It is such a fantastic easy to use system. Who needs paper money, save for drug deals, tipping strippers, and other sketchy business these days?
