Cheques move a step closer to extinction

Purple_Stars

Personally, as a University student who has come home for the summer holidays, I still find cheques very useful. In particular, I send cheques through the post to my housemates for my share of any bills that arrive when I'm away. I feel safer sending cheques than cash.

And people wonder why supermarkets, banks, etc. are so keen to get rid of them!

No, I just come from a land with no titles.

And I don't understand titles on cheque books etc. - you don't sign them. Well, I doubt he signs "Sir Fred" anyway.

Just put the name you sign with and be done with it.
