And I take it one of these cheques (I notice you spelt it the British/Australian way) was mine. I posted it on Wednesday 30 July so it's a little worrying that it took 9 days (7 working days) to get there. BTW the Australian dollar has declined in value during the past two weeks and is now only worth about 90 cents US. (I'm not complaining. About 5 years ago it declined to below 50 cents US.) BTW I remember learning the word 'check' in Kindergarten (my first year of school, 1962). The teacher told us that there was another 'check' ('cheque') but said that it was 'a very hard third class word'. She didn't elaborate but I knew that she meant the word for a type of money.
