In Norway the CEO(? I don't know his exact title) of the countrys national bank gas demanded that everyone keep supporting cash for the foreseeable future or face fines.

I find that to be a smart move.

Not everyone is paying attention. I went past a shop in Tønsberg last week that had a sign saying that they do not accept cash. Quite a few buses here in Norway do not accept cash at the moment in order to reduce the driver's risk risk of catching COVID.
I know. It will be interesting to see if he manage to continue his hard line after the pandemic.

I really hope so.

Is it ok if I ask if you live near Tønsberg?

If not, just pretend you didn't see this message :-)

Of course, you may always ask anything. But I won't promise to always answer.

In this case the answer is that I live in Drammen.

May I ask why you want to know, and what you will do with this information?

Sure. The reason I asked was that I just want to get a feeling for who all you folks are. Also since I live in Horten it would have been the closest one I knew except people at work.

As for what I want to do with the information I guess it depended on the answer, but probably nothing.

If there was a place to meet HNers near home or work I'd probably visit it once a year or something (depending on how it turned out the first time).

I wonder if there is a map showing where HNers are? Or if it would be possible to create one.
