Cash for sure.... sadly.. definitely pit bulls in the UK.. because they're now not allowed to breed...
The Movie rental business in the UK died 10 years ago....
I think in 20 years there will be no unskilled factory workers.....or Bank Tellers. here in the Uk we've lost the majority of our Banks... so most people who don't live in cities have to travel to a different town to find a branch of their bank . In 20 years I don't think any will exist...

it's actually quite sobering to think of that because 20 years is such a short amount of time. Those of us who are still in our 60's.. or early 70's will be as old as the eldest here now... and maybe if this forum still exists ( and I hope it does)... we won't even be able to look back at our earlier younger musings.. because the forum will be changed to a different format by then...

Hand written checks you fill out and send in the mail to pay bills.

Hell no they aren't. I still have them. Every office in the nursing home where I work still have them. The owner brought in newer ones. All businesses still have them in the office. They'll be around for years to come. They may change like my Dell All in One, which has everything built into the monitor.

The English language. Look at the creoled mess that Commonwealth Pidgin already became with the advent of RP and making "to" the universal preposition.
"Different to that" are we serious?

I can't believe these are still a thing. I've not seen one in a decade. I certainly don't have any for my bank account.

Oh, Dilettante, pull up your rocking chair and let us mourn together.
I used to turn on NPR just for the pleasure of hearing pleasant mid-range voices speak proper English.
Now they seem to have retired all those people and hired a dozen 14 year-old girls with vocal fry.
Ask them which of two views they have and they'll start their answer with, "Yeah."
The very first word out of any of them is usually, "So." As if we were in the middle of something that I missed.
Gifts are no longer given they are gifted. Items are no longer picked up, they are grabbed. I could go on and on and on.
On topic? The Pulitzer Prize winning novel I just read had lots of dialogue, but not a single quotation mark, so I guess they're on their way out.

Here it's the same. It grates on my every nerve when now.. the common experience is to have Adverts and newscasters talking in regional accents using slang...
