Is there a bit of their app. I'll have to investigate if either of my apps have that facility. Take a photo of the front and back of the cheque when prompted by your app. Used it a few times. Once had a problem where it didn’t like the photos so had to take the thing to a branch anyway but generally works OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, jsut checked the RBS app. Max £500 but you can do it. Very rarely get a cheque but the wife got one recently from Aberdeen Standard. She had to go down to the ATM to pay it in. Again no hassle because we have a bank in the high street. Not everyone does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a bad habit of forgetting to bank small cheques until they're out of date, so I'll definitely try the app out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I''d be telling them to bolt Don't get many tourists from Czechia nowadays. For some reason, they feel unwelcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 But you already know that before you go, surely? I come back to the basic point that if you're carrying a wallet, a phone and a bank card surely to f**k you can squeeze in a tenner or twenty note just in case. It won't self-destruct in 12 hours. I know now that these takeaways don't take cash but when places opened up again after lockdown and pretty much everywhere was only taking cards I did get caught out a few times. I generally have a bit of cash but it wasn't enough to cover the cost of a takeaway for the family - no great problem and I went to a nearby cash machine. I mostly use cards nowadays but as I said, I more find it a problem when I run out of coins and fivers for tips in bars and restaurants whereas I normally have a pocketful of smash when using cash in the pub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find it bizarre that people are shocked when they stumble upon a business, that still uses a system whereby goods are exchanged for money. It’s only been the main method of global trade, for thousands of years. Also, my favourite pub in Dumfries would laugh you out the door if you tried to pay by card. I have a fondness for cash in pubs, but being honest about it, it is backwards now. Paying by card is faster, and the gripe from cash-enthusiasts for years was that card payments involved folk fannying about at the bar and causing a hold-up. Well now, if that was such a hassle, surely we should be encouraging the fastest-possible transaction with card. People have believed in a variety of religions for thousands of years. Doesn't mean it's not absolute nonsense. And folk in Dumfries are only grudgingly using cash and not bartering sheafs of corn for services, so let's not use them as a standard.

Most pubs that used to have it on tap would also have 80/-, a more gentlemanly endeavour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
