Wallets

[Simo]

Yes, got lot's of shrapnel in my wallet, just offloaded over the bar at local pub. Take after me dad...cash is king, except when on the Tory underground.

….yep, I still have a wallet with cash in. Also store my bank cards, driving licence, bus pass, Costco card etc in it.

Do you need Health insurance in Ireland?

It's basically a queue skipper, you can get seen in days or weeks rather than months or years. I've never needed to use it, but my son had to get surgery and it went from 18 months to "when suits you" when my wife mentioned that we had insurance, it was done in a private hospital all very timely and efficient. If you are happy to wait then you don't need it, it costs more to have insurance than going publicly we don't have free healthcare €750 is the most you have to spend a year if you go public, insurance is just over 100 a week for 4 of us.

Do you have one of those leather folding phone cases which hold cards and are acquired exclusively by boomers?

I do indeed, I’m even appalled myself by this, but it’s quite handy though and find I’m less prone to hoarding receipts and things I don’t need to keep.

Had some for lunch today, inspired by this thread*



*worried I should post this in the American food thread lest I face the wrath of thread police, but then some will say that Mexican food isn't American food so I'm up against it both ways

Picked a smart looking carbon fibre card holder a few years back. Smaller and neater than a traditional wallet and has a handy money clip attached for the rare occasions I have any physical cash on me.
Loose change remains in my back pocket where it belongs

Sorry but without a wallet, where do you keep the emergency condom?

 

[Jokerdan]

Like a wallet if only to keep cash/cards separate from my phone. Really cannot understand or bought into why people put their phone and bank cards together. Lose one, lose all... *shudder*

Before or after?

Unless you store everything on your phone, you need a wallet and a partner with a handbag to carry it in..
As an aside...in this near cashless society, how do you tip at cafes ...any tips through contactless don't go directly to the servers..and some goes to the system?
Bit early, I know.....international breaks eh?
