The Telegraph

Jump to Comments

Back in October, the Telegraph posted an article about me living without cash for 10 months… in their “Weird News” section. At the time, I thought that was about as much press as I was ever going to get and, for a while, I was really hoping it was. The article got picked up on Digg, the news link sharing community, and it seemed people thought I was everything from a fraud to ‘an arrogant douche’. Even though I know the internet is filled with cynics – it still sucks to be called things by people that don’t know you and don’t care to either.

Well, however many months later, I am featured in the Telegraph again! This time in print [awesome], in one of their Saturday paper [mega-awesome] and I got to write the 1000 word feature myself [super-mega-awesome]! Despite the rather large picture of me looking utterly confuddled, typically dishovelled and baring ALL my card details; it was an absolute privilege to be able to write about my experience for a national broadsheet and it absolutely made my week!

This is a scan of the article for anyone that cares to read it but please don’t feel obliged! Oh, and if you do choose to, click the images to see them full size… this isn’t micro film.
