Again, I would not force others to use checks, and would appreciate not being forced to use a telephone for payments myself. Live and let live. |

Live and let live. --- End quote --- Just so. Being deaf, it is very hit-and-miss as to whether I could use a telephone: the person's voice and accent, background noises/voices, and VOIP over-provisioning are all problems. Being deaf, I can't use a smartphone. I haven't been able to try a T4/M4 smartphone - and trying one is the only way to be sure. While I'm prepared to spend £20 to see if a cellphone is acceptable, I can't afford to buy multiple smartphones on the offchance that one might be usable. |

I mean, do the bad government want to get rid of directly exchanging donkeys for goods? Can you still use seashells though, right? --- End quote --- Clearly you are young. I presume you are going to avoid becoming old. --- End quote --- Clearly I was born in a soviet occupied country, where cheque usage was 0.00% and if you tried using it after 1989 everyone just assumed that you want to scam them. |

We noticed. |
