I have contributed very little to this discussion, and TL;DR because tired, but...
is there a Pay For Everything in Cash Day or similar does anyone know??

And you're just the Urbanite to organise it! Well done!

seems like is always the case with these culture war issues, the people making a fuss don't actually believe in it. just a useful way to rile people up and get them behind you so you can push your real agenda.

Hello
February 7th, 1950.
(Lots of potential options, but Diners Club was launched February 8th.)
It’s nonsense, though. There are bank charges for banking cash, just as there are bank charges for accepting electronic payment. Neither is necessarily greater than the other — it all depends what business bank account you use. Unless they’re suggesting that they never bank any cash at all, which is a whole other kettle of hassle.

Maybe the costs of banking cash feel different to small businesses because they don't see it itemised per transaction.
And they ignore that they are actually shifting cost/hassle to any customer who does not habitually use cash, because customers have to spend time withdrawing cash and then carrying change around in their pockets.
Support your local customers by letting them pay in the way that works for them. Your competitors might do.

They don’t whinge about it, they just don’t go to that chippy

Cash is still very much a thing here, but there's definitely more card payments being done in recent years. Customer loyalty is a thing, they will frequent an establishment cash or card, if it's good.

I'd have thought that places lose even more to service charges, paying for online ordering systems, than they do to in-person card payment. But maybe they don't.

Telegraph though, take with a pinch of utter bullshit its readers want to hear
So, as people get older, they are more likely to have credit cards and bank accounts that they use exclusively. Ok, and?
Do you really expect that a 16 year old would be less likely to use cash than a 44 year old?
I’m surprised that cash use is only at 1-in-6 even amongst teenagers and only-just-above-teenagers!

Friend of mine who runs a shop was robbed a couple of nights ago and lost a lot of cash. I know what sort of payment system she prefers right now.

I think it was more about the 'cash stuffing' thing as a method of budgeting but you're right. It's not really a story about cash as a trendy alternative to contactless.

I'm 99.9% cashless these days. But on the rare occasion I get given a wad of notes, I do like the brief moment of feeling like Del Boy, or Loadsamoney

My client group is predominately elderly people or people with learning difficulties or people with poor coordination skills.
In at least one or two instances I have seen carers accompanying these people to a bank to get cash out. Some really
could not cope with online stuff, cards etc. Another issue is bank branches disappearing.

or they are a sole trader using a personal current account for the business, but paying cash inot a business account attracts a fee as does withdrawls , even more so if you request float rather than just the notes in the bank counter drawer

It's not luddite to pay with cash.
As it happens, I can put some more first hand experience here. Got the dreaded "pending transactions can't leave your account" message yesterday, with payday at the end of the month. Luckily I've got bags and bags and bags of coins at home, so today I bought milk for the work fridge with £1.20 in 10p coins, and at lunch three 'yellow stickered ' reduced to clear for £6 using a mix of 50p, 20p and 10p coins. It's not "luddite". It's a safety net.
Presumably the people helping them do everything with tiny coins and notes could help get them a card with which they just need to touch it and do everything??
It is funny to think we will soon be explaining how people and businesses had to fiddle around getting different sized coins and notes and matching the exact amounts for everything… and now we just touch a card and it does it all instantly.
