Likely Guy Posted May 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2016 We've had these for a few years now. Word of advice, keep them in your wallet and not your pocket. They're very slippery and slide out easily. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A rather obscure Bassoon Posted May 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2016 We have them here and to be honest, if you launder your wallet by mistake your cash will come out unscathed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetoroam Posted May 29, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Will they go into self checkouts at the super markets or the parking meters, how about the pay points at the tube stations? I think will like these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
