Cheques have checked out
Banks no longer recognising cheques:
You were probably expecting me to hang out banks to dry.
If so, I do not really understand why.
I have no particular sympathy with banks
I am not a shareholder so no thanks
Is being expressed with this little ditty
Especially when interest rates are so ……
Sorry I wandered away from my message
Quite easy to do when I am in my dotage
Do you remember being told that we
Were about to enter a paperless society?
It was such a long time ago that we probably
Can barely remember one day it would actually be.
For myself I do not feel misled or dudded
As those trees in the forest that thudded
To the ground to provide the paper
For printing cheques are so much safer
So many organisations, like Senior Net
Were offering for free, training in the Internet
They recognised the world was changing and wanted
To help get us onboard the technology train before it shunted
Off down the track to never come back
I know the anxiety is real for those who have used
Cheques all their lives. Of course, they are confused.
I want to encourage them and say
Do they remember there once was a day
When they overcame their fear that the new microwave
Would nuke them to Kingdom come? So again, be that brave

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
