    It’s still necessary in lots of places though, for example village fetes etc where there are no reliable contactless systems. I’ve been to events where they have card readers paired with phones but the local masts get overwhelmed with the number of people and the phones can’t get a signal, even when they have brought in mobile masts for the occasion. So unfortunately you still need cash.
