I’ve just been given a cheque for £50 but i have never seen one written in this format.
The chap has spent many years in the USA so I’m wondering If it’s an American thing?You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

Yes I've had cheques done that way, my Bank accepts them okay. As long as it is also written in words.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

Yeah, used to see them regularly. My guess is someone who’s worked in finance/accounting at some point

I don’t know if this cheque has been written like it has because of a lapse or it’s an attempt to show “look how clever I am” or a bit of an affectation I suspect!
The wordy bit says “Fifty Pounds Only” so I should be ok.
What’s wrong with £50 - 00p ?

What's a cheque?
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

It can easily be changed to 99p. I was always taught to put a line through any zeros. I would have written that £50----- (with an oblique line through the 0)

I would agree but it does say £50 only ———- and the
00/100 could also be be changed to 99/100
The line thro the zero Is

Bad advice I would say. I invested in a tank of petrol in beginning of 2020 in the Golf and that is worth a lot more now than the money in the savings account
