galadhir: Lt. Gillette restrains Commodore Norrington from jumping off a cliff into the sea. Text says 'Don't jump, wait until they push you.' Both a comment on later movies and a life lesson. (Don't jump (wait until they push you))

Do you still pay for things with cash? Have you been somewhere recently where they don’t take cash anymore?

I always try to have cash on me in case I meet a homeless person or Big Issue seller, but I tend to always pay by card. (Which means I wouldn't notice if anywhere didn't take cash.) I have to remind myself to use cash occasionally on a 'use it or lose it' basis. (I don't want to lose it.)

Have you ever used a photobooth? Are they still around where you live (where’s the nearest one?)

I have used them many a time, every time for getting some sort of official ID - passport, drivers' license, student IDs etc.

They don't seem to be around any more. There used to be one in Tescos, and in the Post Office but it's not there now (neither the photobooths nor the Post Office.)

I assume that now everyone can take photos on their phone it's no longer profitable for the photobooths to exist. Which is a shame, because it's actually quite difficult to take a photo on a phone that is acceptable for use in official documents.
