Under Lockdown.....

...can I go out to a cash machine?

[ichkeria]

It’s always handy to have cash but in a lot of shops at the moment it’s card only at certain tills (in fact not a lot different from normal)
The guidelines are probably of necessity simple but I’ve no doubt there’s a certain amount of leeway and common sense. I don’t imagine you’re going to be stopped from going to get cash out unless you’re with a bunch of mates

[ichkeria]

“it’s pretty useless wearing gloves”

Yes that was my point! It’s not exact

[pastafreak]

When my neighbours shop for me, I need to give them cash. I also need it for pre payment meters.
I've got some...but I'll need to get some by next week I think.

[Zacs-Master]

Ah, right. Lost in translation.

[Spicerack]

The gloves may protect the staff, if not the customers.

[ichkeria]

That obviously is why she’s wearing them but they’re rather pointless in a job like that unless you keep changing them, as Zacs says

[Spicerack]

Well I disagree but we won't fall out over it.

My local Co Op is accepting cash, although most of the time I use my card.

[woofgang]

Jno I think that you have a spotless reputation :)

ok just been out on my bike, not a plod to be seen, except at the cop shop. All their jam jars nicely parked up as I was riding past, must all have been on twitface duty!

As always, best to have a look at the legislation first, in this case:
The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020:


Restrictions on movement (Section 6)

6.—(1) During the emergency period, no person may leave the place where they are living without reasonable excuse.

(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), a reasonable excuse includes the need—
(a) to obtain basic necessities, including food and medical supplies for those in the same household (including any pets or animals in the household) or for vulnerable persons and supplies for the essential upkeep, maintenance and functioning of the household, or the household of a vulnerable person, or to obtain money, including from any business listed in Part 3 of Schedule 2;

So you can go out to obtain money.
