packing adventures

[fox]

In clearing out my files last night I found a bundle of mail that had been forwarded on to me from StX not long after I left.  I'd read most of this, but it turned out to include an envelope I hadn't opened before, which turned out to include a remittance from my wireless carrier, in the form of a check (cheque, I suppose) for £48.30.

This is not a huge amount of money, but it's not trivial, either.  Question is this:  with a date on the check/que of 19 July 2006, by the time I sent the thing off to my bank in the UK it will be over two years old.  Will they still honor it, do you think?  (I suppose it'll only cost me 94 cents to find out, so I might as well give it a shot ... ?)

Unless the check cheque has a "void if remitted after x" printed on it, I don't see why it wouldn't be honored (or would that be hounoured?).

Cheque processing is automated, and those machines generally ignore the date on the cheque. Heck, I've accidentally left dates off of checks I have written and the bank has processed them.

I wonder what the exchange rate was back in 2006 - maybe you "made" money over time because the dollar is so weak now. :-D

Hey, spend a dollar for a hundred dollars? Worth it :)
