"Trouble? What trouble? It's the highlight of our week coming into town and chatting to people when we come to pay our bills!" was the answer.

Thats true gynn, the likes of my parents didn't know what a direct debit was never mind use them, they always used cash always paid on time, in fact my parents never even had a check book, in later years if they had to send a check through the post they would ask me to write the check for them and gave me the cash, how things have changed, even for me, the only thing I don't have on DD or SO is my credit card bill which I pay on line anyway
