The cheque's in the post.....

That's what they all say.

Who still uses cheques? :shock:

 

[Rover_KE]

I do. If we don't use them, we'll lose them.

 

[emsr2d2]

If we don't use them, we'll lose them.

Fine by me! I can't think of any situation in which I would need one any more. I think I last wrote a cheque in 2007.

 

[Rover_KE]

I have a lot of sympathy with elderly people without computers who just want to continue to pay their bills as they always have done.

 

[bhaisahab]

Me, I want to go down to the Gas Board showroom and pay my gas bill in cash!

 

[emsr2d2]

Good luck there! I haven't seen a Gas Board (which doesn't exist any more) public store in about 15 years. And if you want to pay in cash, you don't need a chequebook!

 

[bhaisahab]

Checkbook? You'll be suggesting I get a debit card next!

 

[Grumpy]

I have written no fewer than four cheques within the past week. It would seem that we are not at the cutting edge of progress here in Lincolnshire...

Even more shocking, when I come to think of it, is the fact that I used a fountain pen to do the dirty deed!

CHECKbook? When did you become American? :shock:

Ah, now, fountain pens I entirely approve of! I just can't think of anyone I would ever need to write a cheque to. Feel free to send one my way should you wish to support the continued use of those funny little scraps of paper. ;-)
