Saturday morning, Radio 5 Live. Someone, speaking of Judy Murray (mother of Andy & Jamie) described her as “the kind of woman you would not want to hand over a breached pay packet to”

Are there still husbands obedient enough to do that? Or any who still get paid in (perfectly legal, through the books) cash?
Are there couples where the wife is similarly obedient to a stern-faced husband?
Or children, now so many more are staying on to live in their parents home?
By the time I joined the British civil service I do not think there was any option but direct bank transfer for new entrants. Existing employees were being tempted to trust the computers to pay them reliably (the correct amount, on time) by the offer of charge-free current accounts
It seems as if we may soon rediscover what it is like to have banks which charge for every debit entry
