Anyone else remember the Barclaycard invoices being punched cards back in 72?
Thought not.

I was working on smart cards in 88.
I think the first was Amex so maybe they weren't common until the 80s.

Barclaycard, 1966, UK. Got mine in 1972 and it's about to be cut up & burned.
Access, 1972, UK. Got mine in 1974: cut up & burned when they had the inneresting idea of charging fees way back when. I think I've still got the bills somewhere.

For me it was before bank cards existed. And credit cards were new fangled.
Credit cards were introduced in Britain in 1966 and debit cards in 1987. These are important forms of payment. The first contactless bank cards were introduced in the UK in 2007, making card transactions even more convenient
I think the first was Amex so maybe they weren't common until the 80s.

Working in the offy was lucrative as if you got stolen bank or credit cards of people you would get extra money.
My friends who worked in offys made a lot even though they had to work behind barriers.
Anyway the pubs, bars and nightclubs knew your ID was fake.

I can remember back in the 1990's when a lecturer at my uni turned up sloshed at 9am of a Monday morning and instead of giving us a lecture on c++ gave us a lecture about the dangers of smoking and the perils of doing the lottery. We all just sat around laughing at the poor ****
To be fair that was the last time he did turn up drunk!

Last time I was in town it was about £4-5 here. https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/pub-hi...tle-farringdon
