A card-carrying fan of contactless, I'm now contactless-less – and it's not fun

In the first half of 2015, 2.5bn was spent in the UK using contactless cards. I've lost mine, and I'm now living life in the slow lane

Here is my problem. I have lost my debit card. This might seem like a minor hindrance. I haven't, say, lost a limb. But I have lost the means to go about my everyday life as I usually would.

I rely on my contactless debit card as if it were a chip in my wrist. (And I don't have a credit card, because I was always taught never to have credit cards.)
