I write cheques out frequently to pay for things at my childrens school. My (almost blind) father-in-law can sign his name but cant use a keypad to use a pin-number.
I will miss being able to write a cheque.
What do you think?

I told my grandad about the fact they'd announced the end of the cheque. He asked "what about all the old people, how will they pay for things?". I didn't have the heart to say "its eight years away, they'll no doubt all be dead".0
