You're right MaJoc, I don't really trust the ATM system. I'm glad my husband is still 'around' to guard my back while I enter my pin. Sometimes a person behind me appears to be watching and I worry they've seen my pin.
We have a little mobile Post Office that comes to our village for two hours once a week, and the chap who serves is very nice. But naturally, he's limited as to how much cash he can issue. Ditto our little village shop - they do cash, but one has to spend £4 minimum first, which I think covers their cost of using the system.
