    That makes sense, I can see that for businesses it's really not practical to print each cheque individually.

    Lloyds TSB require you fill in a pay in envelope, even when handing in over the counter.

    Not at my branch. You only use the envelope when you want to use creditpoint (or till service is not available).

    Last time I paid in cash was about a year ago and the cashier required I fill in an envelope before handing the cash over the counter. *shrugs*
    Anything I post is my opinion, so from time to time I may be wrong. I try to provide answers based in fact, however I don't know everything, so (like all posters on MSE), take what I say with a pinch of salt.

    Was that out of traditional banking hours or on a Saturday?

    I don't think so, although I can't really remember. It was a smaller branch in a shopping centre with only two members of staff, perhaps that effects the way they process deposits?

    No. If he pays you via a credit transfer it will be by BACS Direct Credit or faster payment. If by cheque / cash - then you put it in your account? But for the credit transfer you do need to provide Sort code / Account number. So I suppose a pre-printed slip saves any confusion - but it won't otherwise be used.
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !
