    Maybe what is needed is a definition of what the words
    "Advantage"
    "Reasons"
    and
    "Convenient"

    mean

        There have been plenty of good reasons given; that you are not convinced by them is your problem, not ours. You don't like using cheques - fine, don't use them. But don't insist that I shouldn't like using them, too. (If I ever needed to pay you for something you will have to be content with a cheque).

          You asked almost the identical 'I'm still waiting' question back at Msg #76 and I replied (quoting your 'I'm still waiting') at Msg #80. I'm sorry it didn't convince ...

          I have just put my chequebook out on the table. Tomorrow my coalman will deliver the coal, handing me the invoice when he starts to carry the bags out to the coal stacks. By the time he has finished, I will have checked the amount and written the cheque. He will receipt my copy of the invoice, hand it to me and go, taking the cheque.

          I find that very convenient.

          Are we beginning to go round in circles?
          It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

            Actually I am judging something at the moment
            far more important the ridiculous MPs and their dodgy doings IMV


            Like FF
            I go to the coal man
            he puts 5 sacks in the boot of my car
            I give him cash or a cheque
            I drive away
            I put coal in stove
            Sometimes I put casserole on top of stove , it's on all day so Oxtail with a bit or orange peel and a cinnamon stick plus red wine is good (Star Anise as well)
            and sometimes just the kettle

            what's not to love ?

              I might challenge the notion of 'beginning'

                  You cad, sir. You took the very words out of my mouth!

                  It is literally unbelievable that this thread has gone to 18 pages.
                  "...the isle is full of noises,
                  Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                  Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                  Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                    I wonder if you could give us a legal definition of "unbelievable" as some folk seem to find the "unbelievable" credible

                      Please ...please...don't give him any more excuses to bore us rigid (well, not me, I've got him on Ignore but I do see the quotes)

                                By the magic known as re-formatting, I've managed to reduce it to just five (very long) pages
