    Cheques and other documents are ordered/printed months in advance. If they have stopped then it will take several months to filter through.

    No, this proposal is in the pipe-line, or so we're told (scheduled for next year, I believe).
    Whether it actually happens is another thing of course :rolleyes:

    Ah I see, I thought it was strange!

    Let's hope they get banned, for the time being they'll just get binned.

    You could always tell them not to send any more.
