#TescoHostage This might seem a bit overboard but it's really not. Especially in a national health emergency. Imagine you get a phonecall, a loved one has been admitted to hospital and is dying. You can't get fuel, or a ticket for the bus. 
Imagine you're a diabetic and the power just went out to your fridge.
Imagine the power going out and you're unable to top up and all the food in your freezer gets ruined.

Imagine the granny in the dead of winter and the gas meter needs topped up.
Imagine the care worker or unpaid carer who can't get shopping and only has a few hours to spare.

Imagine any one of a thousand emergencies where you need to transfer money.
