That is a completely stupid limit.

Indeed. It should be £5.

Fiver is a bit low IMHO. Can you escape from a Costa/Starbucks or WHY
with a sandwhich and coffee for less than a fiver? The "all you can
eat" buffet restraunts in Newcastles China Town are around £7 inc a
drink.

I agree £20 is too high a tenner would be better.

The only reason for a limit is the situation where the card
gets stolen or lost and it takes some time to notice that
it has been stolen or lost and to get the card blocked.

There isn't a significant difference between
£10 and say £50 in that regard.
