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. Does *anyone* still have a personal cheque guarantee card that isn't also a debit card? If not, then the difference that this makes to anyone is precisely 0 (since company cheques will still be accepted). -- John Band john at johnband dot orgwww.johnband.org Well my cheque cards aren't debit cards and the company account doesn't have either a cheque card or a debit card. So I will be stuffed. Since I use a credit card I don't see what advantage a debit card gives, except that if I lose it I will have to cover the cost of the misuse whereas if a cheque is misused then it is fraud pure and simple and down to the bank.
