Cheques: does anybody still use them?

[MrGongGong]

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

mean

Are you a juror then, MrGG ?

[Flosshilde]

I'm still waiting for someone to provide convincing reasons why they consider cheques to be better (at least for them) than other means.

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?

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'

[MrGongGong]

YES WE DO USE EFFING CHEQUES
now go and get a life
or piano lessons
or something worth bothering with

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

It is literally unbelievable that this thread has gone to 18 pages.

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

Oh no......you've opened a can of worms there. AHinton is now going to bore us silly with some more thousand word sentences while attempting to define what exactly it is that you mean by 'advantage'...and 'reasons'....

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
