    Somebody's in for a shock when they see the price of a postal order…

    12.5% of face value from £10-99.99
    https://www.postoffice.co.uk/postal-orders
    So for £25, that's £3.12.

    Or a quick and free phone call to the bank to ask them to send a cheque book…

    Oh, and if it goes AWOL in the post? The PO (and money) is lost, whereas a cheque simply goes uncashed.

    Shreddedpaper is useful for topping up compost bins or for some animal bedding.

    Cars are not exactly environmentally friendly but we continue to use them.
