"London Underground said that fare dodgers will still be able to
use cheques to pay their fares, and fines, to ticket inspectors".
So only a fare dodger can pay by cheque. If I happen to lose my
ticket or I am mugged will I have to find some other means of
payment or would I become a fare dodger.


Not uncommon these days. I reckon it's time the banks took action
to abolish cheques completely. BACS and other electronic payment
systems are far superior.


The main reason I write cheques these days is for posting things off with
payment.
