YesHello @AnkyieSpon I forgot to add about on line shopping.
Apparently because of on line fraud. By September 2019 the EU wants to have a directive all payments must be accompanying with digit code only known to the owner.
Although will this apply to us if we leave EU..
Although many banks and financial institution have not told there customers yet.
The other issues have been raised how many have a mobile phone. So the code be sent through mobile phone networks.
Just wait and see what happens.
Take care

i hate christmas lol but do all my shopping online
-
I do 95 percent of shopping online all year round

Sadly from a relaxed day with a friend looking round and a pasty or bite to eat in local town to now:-
leaving it to last minute and all online and on a credit card, plan it right and it is wrapped for you as well.
Filled the freezer Gradually over last 3 months so we will have some bits over Christmas as couldn’t afford it in one go.
I have mixed feelings about Christmas as I find it high debt on a credit card and the cost takes the joy out of it for me.
but there is another side to this buying in the local town or high street has barriers to it:-
COST
Parking
Practicalities of managing my issues- think I can get a NKS Radar Key perhaps?
Carrying the items
So while the browsing is good, the socialising is good, local shopping is neither practical in any volume for affordability or practical reasons.
I do go to a winter market if I can wrap up so I don’t get cold and plan it, but I have only ever seen parts of it as it is a long walk and in sunny but freezing weather it affects me badly. -
