My son, who was seriously bullied at school, refuses to use FaceBook or Twitter, on the basis that they are principal bullying tools. He has e-mail, text and telephone, and does not need them. He also has car insurance with Admiral. I wish them luck

I agree - I have no need for an advisor. In fact, my experience of financial advisors is poor. I gave up after poor advice and do my own research.

I will not use Visa to buy anything on the web after having two transactions refused without telling me or trying to contact me - both of which were valid and caused me embaressment. I spend $40,000 per annum on my Mastercard and have never had a problem in more than 20 years.

Surely you are assuming that customers have all of their business with one bank. I do not think that I am alone in having my principal credit card from a different supplier than the bank that I hold my current account with. I also took out a mortgage with a different bank altogether. I have Individual Savings Accounts with both my principal bank and yet another bank. How do you build a 360 degree view of people like me?

This is nothing more than a sales pitch for eWise Aegis. How does this differ from the XL spreadsheet that I have been using to track my assets for the last 10 years?

Having been involved in many start ups I applaud your enthusiasm. My experience is that 75% of people who leave a cosy, corporate, background do not succeed in start-ups because they do not know how to operate or run a small business. Life is difficult - things do not just happen, you have to make them happen. Simple things like office IT, bank accounts and paying the bills - all things that just happened in corporate - have to be done by you. I wish you great success.

How does this fit with the fact that the Bank of England has announced the the amount of cash in circulation has doubled in the last ten years?

The Bank of England, issuers of banknotes and coins in the UK, announced last week that the amount of cash in circulation has doubled in the last 10 years. I have no doubt that electronic payment is increasing at a rapid rate. As a result, I see a paradox. Everyone in the IT world believes that cash will reduce in usage, yet the amount of cash in circulation is increasing, not just in the UK but in the US, Germany and much of southern Europe. It does not add up.

And Finextra published a report a few days ago from the Bank of England stating that the amount of cash in circulation in the UK has doubled in the last 10 years.
