Does anyone here still use Cheques?

[Pat Vegas]

I find it quite pleasurable filling in a cheque.

Depending on the reason of course.

Though I do wonder why banks have developed technology to be able to scan the cheque with your smartphone to deposit. With technology as it is wouldn't it be easier to abolish the cheque. I think in Denmark they got rid of them years ago.

Side note: anybody seen any new fivers yet?

I still do on occasion. There are times when I don't feel strong enough to log on to internet banking, because doing so means confronting the appalling truth about Mrs C's continual rape and pillage of the account. :-(

I must say I do like paperless statements.
in case I need to hide something.

It was disappointing to find out that paperless statements were not an envelope full of loose numbers and letters.

It's true, actually. There used to be a certain charm to being able to transact one's daily business without being confronted by the awful truth of one's finances. I particularly resent the way cashpoints these days seem determined to tell you what your balance is unless you actively stop them from doing so.

:nod: I generally cover the display with my hand to avoid confronting the awful truth.

No one needs to know that ****.

They are getting flash now. Some of them give you suggestions now. '£20?'

They should go a bit further imo. like if you use it at 3am it should say 'are you sure about this?'

Oh I used to chuck my bank statements straight into the bin unopened.

I remember opening one by mistake once and being amazed that there was a few bob in there. Good timez.

But they'll still only give you £300 at a time. That's **** all use to a man on his way to buy some drugs, is it?

Believe it or not I had an old account with Santander that I never used and they sent me a yearly statement that I used to binned.
Only when I looked at it further it had a grand in there. :cloud9: I thought it was impossible., Turns out there was some refunds of charges and a payment from an old job that they made after I left for holiday pay.

The £300 limit is a bit too low imo maybe £500

I used a cash machine in the Casino in Leicester square and it gave you an option to withdraw £1000 and upwards.
I am not sure what sort of account you'd have to have for that to work.

Not many. Takes me over a year to finish a cheque book these days.

There is nothing more annoying, in the financial transaction world, than somewon giving you a ****ing cheque.

Have they not heard of internet banking or cash? Utter ****s.

Last time I received cheques was at my wedding.

Arsene doesn't use a Cheque in the Champions League unless he absolutely has to.

I sometimes pay the school by cheque quite simply because I am not sending in sums of cash with a 7 or 9 year old child.

So quite frankly you sir can fúck off, annoying or otherwise.
