I have a mobile phone.....somewhere!  I don't have a data package for it or even know how that sort of payment malarkey works! 
If I'm going anywhere near the town centres these days I use the bus.
And they wonder why town centres are dying a slow death.
There are a lot of things changing & going online only, whereas before you could ring the council office to speak to someone, you now have to make an online account with them and use email  . |
Agree about why the town centres are dying.
And the stupid thing is that by making the car park payment machines “high tech” payment only - the planners select for those that are more likely to do their shopping online rather than those who prefer to drive into a town centre and walk about
