I keep my credit card charges low and pay off my balance every month. Therefore, I must be punished: "Credit card industry aims to profit from sterline payers." Actually, I'm not too frightened because I can't see how credit card companies can bring back annual fees and add-on charges without inviting a consumer revolt. Hey, man, cash is fine with me.
The more they threaten to tax, subsidize, or simply "spread the wealth around," the more the underground (cash) economy grows. Another unintended consequence of ill considered policy.
