Trend for me over the last few years has definitely been to (a) move away from cheques to card payments and (b) to increase card payments to the point where I will only use cash for small purchases < £5.00. If I have to, I'll get cash-back as well so's the total bill comes to more than the minimum spend. - Just checked, I've got a £10 note in my pocket + £5.00 in coins. The coins have been there for over a week, I got the note last Saturday 'just in case'. I see I have written three cheques in the last 12 months.
