    just got my first cheque from Youngs for prawns. It's for £2.99, although I'm sure they cost £3.49 :mad:

    i got back a check to but i was wondering what does the date say on your check?
    mine says 01/23/2008

    i am afraid to cash it for it may bounce...i called them about it and they are going to call me back at some point.. but do you think it would bounce??

    It shouldn't do. That's the American way of dating it.

    But even with the American way, it would mean 23rd of January :confused:

    How long are cheques valid for, is it 3 months? or 6? In any case, it's very strange. :confused:

    I haven't had anything from Youngs yet.

    Good point! I knew I shouldn't post so early in the morning!

    just looked at my cheque and it is dated 01/23/2008. More bizarrely, I received another cheque from the same agent (VCG) for Regina toilet roll dated 180/11/2008!

    Why are getting a cheque for the toliet rolls? :confused: If you said you liked it you got twice as much back in vouchers (that can be spent on anything at Tesco).

    I knew today could only go downhill! It was from Aunt Bessies! But it's definitely dated 180/11/2008!
