Nissan Micro Trends?! Haha! Wasn't sure whether to laugh or facepalm at that one! All other puns were perfect!

Yes - I knew about the expert at Visa. I think I had them on a livestream, or at least I asked!

Another goodun, Jas. So much opportunity for a more enjoyable, less clunky, less faffy, less resource-intensive payment experiences across the board.

I used to have a Mercedes (it was awful and I got rid of it) but I still get the Mercedes Me emails, and what they are doing in the world of embedded finance is so impressive! (The build quality of my car was less so, but that is another story!) As ever, thank you for being the highlight of my Friday morning.

😂. The Nissan Micro Trends was a bit cheesy but I did say it was a throwback edition.

I knew you'd know him. He'd be great on a future Marqeta pod for sure.

Exactly right. I'm a casual driver but so many frustrations. I didn't even cover the rise of P2P car sharing, or companies like ZipCar.

Ahh, Mercedes used to build great cars. I'm still a fan of the new A-Class and if they keep pushing ahead and improving the car (and the payments system) it'll be the car I buy when I eventually move out of London.

Thank you for your feedback as always :-)
