      There’s the odd off license that only takes cash. My card might not work for whatever silly reason. I usually carry £1 or 2 (separately from my wallet) for the off chance of running into a beggar.

      I’m also on my way to the library at the moment, where the foreign language talking class costs £2 in cash.

      There is a little known law in France that requires you to be able to pay a first class fine (about 35€) on the spot. If you cannot you’ll be arrested. As you cannot always pay with a card as not every cop has the required system, that mean you have to carry that arround in cash.
