About a week ago I went to pay a cheque into my bank account at the bank on site where I work. As it isn’t my own bank I need a pre-printed paying in slip, and normally I carry a book of them around for the odd occasion I get a cheque, but I discovered I had run out. So I called my bank who said no problem they’d get one sent out to me straight away.
Today I got home to find a parcel had arrived for me… and to my great surprise I discovered that Barclays have kindly sent me 20 paying in books, each with about 15 paying in slips! Just how many cheques do they think I pay in!?! My last book lasted me years – with internet banking so easy these days people rarely even use cheques anymore. At least it made me laugh.
