£350 on a wallet is mental (said the man who spent £700 on a kitchen knife).
The pepper mill noncery still reigns supreme as the biggest waste of money in TTH history (and I'm including our various investment failures).
Surely a wallet is entirely obselete in the modern age (other than as an advertisement as to how much of a materialistic twat you are).
That pepper mill is incredible
I'd pay double for it having used it
Luca spending £800 or so on a fairly plain looking Hermes belt has to be up there too.
I own this coat, but got it for a bargain price of £100.

Looking at this yellow one as i need it bright. I usually throw down my wallet, and struggle to find it on a table, sofa or the side of the bed.
Mine's coming to its end too. I would really love to surrender my wallet like these new-age melts as not having to think about it would be quite freeing but I haven't adopted using my phone for contactless payments and it's still good to have a vehicle for train tickets/driving license?/cash even if the condoms and bags are retired.
Have you heard of "pockets"?
Yeah, I binned my wallet off years ago. Mobile, card and keys are all that's left the house with me for years.
Where do you keep your TTH stickers/business cards?

My PA carries those around for me.
The whole advantage to a wallet is it brings them all together into one unit, I'm not adopting some fucking crack addict aesthetic of having 5 or 6 bits and bobs in a pocket. It's also not functional for an active and mobile lifestyle. See also my views on tote bags.
Yeah, no chance I'm ever abandoning the wallet. Loose bank cards going around with me? No chance.
Plus it's always good to have fallbacks like having a driving licence on you for ID, having your NI number on the card in there, etc. And I carry cash because you do sometimes need it in the shadier establishments.
I genuinely thought a tote bag was slang for a cocaine baggy. But Levi's kindly introduced the little pocket for that about 200 years ago.
What shady establishments are you going to Jimmy?
Genuinely don't think I've had cash in my wallet since sometime near the start of lockdown.
Shady establishments
NI card I never took outside with me, didn't know that was a thing. Easily copied into a note on your phone and all the store cards are digital so I'm just waiting for driving license/ID to be able to be put on the phone.
Bank card and keys, what else do you need?
Maybe try a handbag.
I didn't use cash through much of 2020 obviously but I find I'm using it more again now and it's the same with others I know.
Quite a lot of smaller independent food places (kebab shops and the like), bars at the smaller local cricket clubs, people who need tipping, any shop when the card machine breaks or the wi-fi is down (happens reasonably often). Even happened to me in Homebase the other day.
Not to mention actual shady establishments. A certain sector of small businessman doesn't like the overheads involved in card payments and/or doesn't like it all being logged for tax, can't see that changing either.
Not to mention construction jobs. I paid for my drive and back garden path/patio to be re-done and saved myself a grand because I paid the guy cash (no VAT).
You're not fucking walking around with the cash for a construction job on your house in your pocket normally though, are you?
I'd drifted into arguments for keeping cash in general, my bad. Back to pockets and overpriced wallets.
Card holders are the one.
Oh yeah, when a Somali guy turned up to fix my car he wanted paying in paper. Luckily I have a drawer full of the stuff just in case.
They'll fucking complain about the state of the country and then enable tax evasion. Dickheads.
I have stopped carrying my cellphone around and chuck the house keys under the mat in front of the door, so nowadays I either carry nothing or one credit card if I am going shopping. License plus car keys if driving is involved.

If you're quick you can delete that before anyone else sees.
I thought it was some lego or something but I've just googled itWhat does it do that it costs so much? Does it actually hoover up the ghosts?
Counters the negative energy of ghosts with a stream of positively charged ions. Sounds like a bargain if anything.
What the fuck.

My pepper grinder is looking pretty normal now.
Floyd carrying this around with him get a life man.
Yeah, he's absolutely done you there to be fair. That's going to take some upstanding.
I still have mine. Half a rainforest of attendance certificates and my 9th place in the Essex Under 16's trampolining award.
I wouldn't have got into Tiger Tiger in Portsmouth a couple of years ago unless I'd had my ID on me.
I get the feeling you haven't been asked for ID since.
I'm thirty-four and bald, of course I haven't been. Except when picking things up from the post office, or getting vaccinated, or picking up my mother's prescription, or doing any number of everyday tasks.
#BaldPrivilege
The Post Office accepts your bank card as proof; prescriptions I don't know; but there can't be that many 'everyday tasks' needing it. I think the last time I had to take my driving licence anywhere for identity purposes was buying my flat.
The nightclubs around here ID everyone apparently. The number of times the poor bouncers must hear "oooh, I'll come here again!" from haggered 30-40 year old women that shouldn't be allowed in must be pretty jarring.
I get IDed for alcohol if I'm in trackies and a hoodie but not if I'm in work clothes (chinos and shirt).
Sounds like the ID policy is designed to be doing you a favour.
I was ID'd for alcohol not that long ago in a supermarket and I just laughed and they deferred to that reaction.

Crap clubs like Tiger Tiger ID everyone as they scan you into a system so if you kick off they can properly ban you.
I mistakenly thought I was being IDed for cigarettes last night but it turned out the cashier was asking some whippersnapper at a self service till behind me, 'I don't need to see yours mate' making feel like late stage Razor Ruddock.
I still do. Where else are you meant to keep your national record of achievements?
I'm also a wallet user. It's full of cards - it's not practical to just carry them loose (could also carry fewer cards)
