| Imagine you could write cheques that were accepted as payment but never cashed. |
| Meetings can be packed, democratic decisions circumvented, dissenters smeared and threatened, cheques forged and money misappropriated. |

| My wife and I have joint accounts at the bank and building society where either of us can sign cheques and make withdrawals. |
| Stores gave cashiers black lists of banks whose cheques were not acceptable. |
