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 ?

No, can be done online

Yup, or over the phone.. the only time I go to the bank these days is when I need to get (large amounts) of cash out to pay the aforementioned builders etc.. and need to do the same before Saturday to pay for an engine on eBay (sadly he didn't want to take PayPal).

Note to self: Do not forget to go to the bank.  ;D

Yesterday for me,I normally write two or three a week and receive in payment a dozen or so in the same time frame,I was speaking to my business banking manager the other day and he told me that the plans to finish with cheques have been put on hold indefinitely.

use them roughly once every month to pay plumber, gas fitter etc - they seem happy. Roofers want cash.

Blockpaver wanted part cash part cheque.

They have their uses.

Probably about 5 years ago.....
Everything is either cash or debit card or paypal or direct debit.

We still use them occasionally, school trips, Brownie Subs, Birthday gifts etc, Whilst we do not use many, most bills direct debit or on line, I would not want to lose the option..... :)

a couple of months ago but about a year before that.
Yet I see people who go through them very quickly as they don't trust direct debits or electronic transfers

Would have to check my cheque book when I get home  ;D

But I would guess well over a year ago.  ::)
