Toy Story

Toys are getting more violent according to some survey or other.  Sounds dangerous to me.  We have quite a few toys at home - for the grandchildren or course.  I occasionally get annoyed with them (the toys, that is) but they never retaliate, so does this disprove the violent theory?

Meanwhile, it's reported that 'consumer transactions' (things we buy, I guess) were paid by cash in less than 50% of the time, the first time this has happened.  We are getting into cashless transactions with our cards/phones, and using online banking.  I'm still surprised we have cheques, I don't think they are used at all in some European countries.  We have always lagged behind other comparable EU countries when it comes to electronic banking in its various forms, especially since the UK is the self styled 'financial capital of the world'.  Thereby proving the old proverb:  The easiest person to kid is yourself.
