The banks seems hell bent on scoring zero points in customer service.
My weekly organic box is delivered to my back garden where I leave the cheque payment. It appears that cash must be left instead (ha ha) or my patronage of this small company must cease.

I strongly agree that the withdrawal of cheques is a retrograde step. There are many payment processes where cheques are still appropriate, such as the payment of tradesmen, the making of gifts to relatives, the settling of accounts between small businesses. I am also not convinced by the view of a SAGA editorial writer, who considers that a majority of older people are not troubled by the withdrawal of cheques.
It is somewhat alarming that the Cheque Guarantee scheme is to be terminated this year.
