Sorry Baroness Lane-Fox, it is not a good idea for everyone to do everything online.

Sure, this column flies about the ether most weeks – except the week the power was down and everything was left to the postman.

I use my computer a lot, but I would never use it for everything. Money transactions are a no-no.

We hear all the time of computer criminals spending all day trying to access and steal from our bank accounts. That is why I do not allow computer access to my accounts. Banks talk about insisting on it, but with interest rates so low there is no longer any need to deal with them.

If it comes to keeping cash under the mattress that is what I will do.

And those people who want non-cash payments will find their only alternative is to do without my business.

I have been just been watching a TV consumer programme about fake equipment for backing-up computer files which does not work.

It is not a new idea.

I still have a cassette machine which copies the content of other cassettes at a faster pace, but would never delete the original without checking it had recorded properly.

Can you not do that with a computer?

Even if that is wrong and the only reason not to check is laziness there are records which are better kept by lo-tech systems - typewriters, even pen and ink.

My collection of cricket scores, collected over 40 years, would take more years to put on computer than I have left.
