My parents, for example, use debit for 90% of their transactions. There is almost always something they need or Grandad needs on a daily basis, so it goes via debit. It's the same as cash after all, just less worrying than carrying cash for a 69 year old (Dad). Also they have records in case anyone queries Grandad's income and expenditure.

I pretty much live on my debit card. I rarely carry actual cash, beyond a few quid for bus fares and a coffee. I don't use credit cards any more. And there's onyl a charge on using debit cards if the purchase is less than £6.50 and then it's only .30p.
