The battle to save the humble cheque has been won. The banks have caved in, admitted they can't find a useful alternative and will now allow cheques to survive. Phew!
It was all meant to change in seven years time. The banks wanted to save themselves administrative costs. But local people got in touch with me in droves to register their complaint. So the Liddell-Grainger war machine went into top gear.
I contacted the Treasury's key Minister, Mark Hoban....
and together we set out to scupper the bank plan.
Now we can celebrate victory!
