Cash-point must be less

The cash machine has become a cornerstone of modern life. Slip in your card, tap in your number and the money is yours, cash in hand - so long as the machine reckons your funds can stand the withdrawal. Happy Leap Year Day

Today's the day that isn't normally here. As this is a leap year, with 366 days instead of the usual compliment, today is a special birthday for those who only age one year for every four that passes.This is also the day when by tradition women can propose to men.
