    Oh come on, are you telling me you're too young to remember the Great Depression in the US when government cheese was doled out, which gave rise to the slang term cheddar for money? 😂

    Should I have said "bread"? Or maybe "dough"?
    Or maybe loonie, fin, dixie or sawbuck?

    Isn’t it odd I’d never heard that expression before?

    but who still uses cheques?
    How else would I pay my sub- contractors, or my property taxes or the bakery that adds 3% to the bill for credit card charges?

    Credit card? Bank transfer?
    Or in the case of the bakery, cash?

    Cheques are being phased out here in Australia, isn't that the case in other countries?

    Won't you find it interesting that while I do use cash at my bakery (but wanted a third item for my list), neither my township - for property tax payments - nor my sub contractors accept credit cards?

    What is Bpay? Isn't it just as easy to write a check (cheque)?

    You’re allowed to pay with cheese in the US?

    Can I just leave this here: 🤣 as it best sums up my reaction to @Cat0703a’s hilarious question?! 😂😂

    Could it be because they don’t like being charged money to accept money?

    What is Bpay? Don’t I need to know that first before I can say if it’s called that everywhere? Or does me not knowing what it is mean it can’t be called that in at least the place that I am?

    Not that odd is it? I've only heard money referred to as "cheddar" in movies, and even there isn't it more often something like "gimme your dough" or "I need to make some bread"?

    Bpay - electronic bill payment - is when companies like electricity, gas, council rates etc have a Bpay number and you can pay directly from your bank account via internet banking - isnt that way easier and quicker than sending a cheque?

    Since my kids have only known direct deposit for their jobs, are they not missing out on the pride of framing your first paycheck on the wall?

    Would you believe me when I say it's probably the opposite of that? Aren't the temperatures in New York expected to be in the high 50s/low 60s (roughly 15° C) while I'm there?

    Isn’t the definition of a beach body a body that can be found at the beach?
