Our Jim has set this particular thread off in a fantastic direction, it makes great reading.
Of course, Jimbo's cunning plan has the govt right where he always wanted it;

yes the government has come after me hard but this has worked only to prove how corrupt they are which was my plan all along....
Yes, riiiiiight where he wants 'em. Oh yes. Move over Baldrick. He continues;

the reason people are not posting their successes is because the shills contact the companies to get the payment reversed.
Or possibly because they simply don't work as no-one gets paid.
Anyway no Jimbo post would be incomplete without a pop at 'shills' who include, it would seem, even those Pillars of the Establishment Salli Nay-Letterbox and even the old fraud Ceylon himself.

oooh, time to run away! I do like the ironic Kung Fu reference as the only IP Man Jim'll be meeting is his Insolvency Practitioner.
Mrfibble in response to a piss-poor attempt from Deadbeat Dad to big Smithy up weighs in with a distinctly Qualoosian view of WeRe Bank;

PoE is doing (more or less) what the banks do - in that they both provide a service for people to exchange 'money' for credit
Mrfibble wrote;
It's less, a lot less. When somebody takes out a loan from a normal bank they can withdraw cash from a cash machine, transfer it to another account, buy something with a credit card, or pay somebody with a cheque. None of these facilities exist with WeRe Bank and, even more telling, not a single WeRe Bank customer would happily exchange something of value for a WeRe cheque.
After which Jim slides off to allow the grown-ups the usual descent into ad hominem mud slinging and defence of the indefensible. The rest of the thread is a great read but sadly Jim plays no more part and comment, if it were to be made, belongs in the PoE thread.
Buuut.......... I can't resist a few more from Deadbeatdad & Co. for twisted logic. Apologies Mods but I blame Jimbo. So on the one hand;

it's certainly true that there are those who have failed to recognise and/or accept such Bills of Exchange - perhaps those dishonouring these presentments should be held accountable

If you're asking me why the Payee or Payee's bank are refusing them - then you'll need to ask them. I can't provide you with those reasons....
What I can say is that those cheques should be accepted because they are backed by personal guarantee of those who issued them
I suspect that WeRe Bank have failed to enforce its commercial paper as it should
My emphasis. But later he posts;
DBD Wrote;
I never accept cheques from anyone either - regardless of whatever bank it purports to be from; I have no way to verify the funds
Ho ho, nice one DBD. As fine an example of Footle doublethink* as you're likely to see.

Mrfibble wrote;
I'm pointing out the double standard of WeRe Bank customers who won't accept worthless cheques themselves but throw a tantrum when others won't either. What isn't clear?
DBD hits straight back;
DBD wrote;
the truth is that it is the banks that need us - the entire system is reliant on two things; our signature and our ignorance
That. Oh and our cash.
Lastly, what's the difference between the England football team and a tea bag?
A tea bag stays in the cup a lot longer.
