> Cheques (spelled like that) are rarely used

looking at all the people protesting the proposed removal of cheques in UK last year I'd say that's not the case :-)

Sadly many (relatively) big business and countless public bodies only pay and accepts payment by cheques. As an example only this year City of London Corp started accepting bank transfers for rent deposit. 2 years ago I had to dig up my business cheque book and bring a cheque to their offices for an office rent deposit.

Take a look at the "Treasury - Written Evidence - The end of Cheques?" http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200910/cmselect/c...
