Cheque Books.

My bank card was playing up last week and I couldn't pay my car bill so offered them a cheque - all the young girls whirled around in their chairs in puzzlement - but they didn't want my cheque . Had to run to the bank and order a new card . Then I wanted to buy a painting but the artist didn't want my cash so I had to finally give in a set up phone banking

I think it must be ten years since I even had a cheque book ?
I think my DM still writes cheques but other than that don't know anyone who does.

So you may be slightly rare ?

I still use the odd cheque - maybe one a month. When I’ve used a certain number in the book, my bank sends me a new one.

I hardly ever use cheques, but regularly pay for an insurance by cheque. The company won't let me pay by internet banking (I could if I was overseas!!) and I don't want to pay by direct debit. Nearly all the stubs in the chequebook show that the payments went to the same recipient.

Our church bank account has to use cheques as paying by internet banking is not permitted.
