Re: "for we like sheep ..."

When we do our rounds of the local farms, in our trap, we often stop to buy some cheese from the goat cheese people. We pick some cheese, they weigh and wrap it and we pay them by faster payments from a phone once we know what the bill is. They can see the money is there (they'd trust us, but it's nice they don't have to), and they don't have the whole awkward 'dying' thing because they've been handling our possibly-germy cash or cheques, let alone having to wait fir the cheque to clear. We still have to leave the cheese a bit in case it is germy, but it's fine. We buy hay for the pony the same way. The cow cheese people deliver: they leave a note with the amount and we pay them ... by faster payments from the phone. We pay the farrier by faster payments from the phone

Because, you see, we live in the 21st century, unlike you who clearly live in some fantasy version of the late 19th. I mean, I'm happy that you can: it must be nice.
