zreality: @GalaxyIce - See?!! You made me Google "yonks ago". Are you happy, now?

147000: When we gave up pounds for the whole "keep your tongue in your mouth, but its a thaler" thing.

GalaxyIce: Checks? You still use them in the USA? We use plastic in the UK. Most of us gave up cheques yonks ago

zreality: Cheques. Well, I learn something new every day! Thank you so very much for that! Still friends?!!

skivelitis: American English..not the Queen's. Gave that up 235yrs ago.

NATE1: A cheque (or check in American English)

Malcolm Beeson: Why do Americans claim they speak English? "checks" indeed! Cheques.

& I'm French anyway

zreality: @KAMusad - I completely agree with you! I know my place. That's why I write a lot of checks. $$$

KAMasud: Self control is difficult but after a reality check, things drop into their relevant places.
