    I dont think you can. why not just open a basic post office account for both of them, pay in the cheque and £1 and then when the cheque clears just withdraw the £10's, its left open for future cheques then.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    no
    money laundering rules will prevent this
    The FSA may have allowed the banks to fail us all in spectacular fashion, but they do know a money launderer when they see one

    you need to open a/cs for them ... a childs saving a/c would probably be suitable
