Don't know, but it seems that the intent is there and serious discussions are taking place. Maybe they are sounding people out, as is this thread.

You have a pay as you go mobile phone? You don't have any subscriptions for television or media or music? You have never ever used prepaid car parking services? You go queue up for your council tax payments in the town hall every year? You have never purchased a property, vehicle or other such high value purchase from a major retailer then? You have never bought anything online or purchased travel tickets, accommodation or activities through a non-physical travel service? So ,you are choosing to completely inconvenience and restrict yourself. Doesn't seem like anything to be proud of to me Edited March 15, 2023 by ECCOnoob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
