Here is my post for Share Your World, hosted by Di.

Can you remember your first wage packet? Was it cash, a cheque or paid directly into your bank account?
I don’t explicitly remember it. I assume back in those days it was a cheque. For our younger readers, “cheques” were pieces of paper that you had to tramp down to the bank to deposit. Nobody except for my Mum has written a cheque in decades.

For our younger readers, a “bank” was a place in town for getting and depositing money. It’s now called a “phone app”.

Do you prefer to shop with cash or card?
Always card. It’s just so easy to tap your card on the machine. Though I’m suddenly out of date again, most people I see in the village shop use their phone. I do very occasionally but it’s a hassle finding the right app.

Do you know the price of half a dozen eggs?
Anywhere between £2 and £3 depending on free range-ness etc. I can get 6 eggs for £1.50 from the monthly village market.

Have you ever kept chickens?
No! I’ve eaten a lot of chickens, though.
