       I remember asking about this in some English bank some eight or ten years
                                  ago. The staff thought it was extremely funny.

       Some of the banks (TSB perhaps) have cheque stubs that you write parallel
            to the spine rather than away from it, which is a reasonable move...

                                                                           Nick.
