Funnily enough I have very little to do with our finances. However the wife will allways use a cheque if possible. The demise of the cheque is well overated I am afraid.

I mean get plumber in to change a tap, you pay by cheque, same with most other trades.

Last saturday .. but that's a year since the prior one was written out!

Hardly ever use them - bank transfers took their place, with builders etc all wanting cash in hand anyway..

Forgive my ignorance on this but do you have to go to the bank to do a bank transfer ?

Almost any financial transaction can be done in minutes online. If I put my mind to it, I could be £10,000 in debt by 2 o'clock.
