I really do try to make all payments on line these
days. I know that’s what we’re supposed
to do and in any case I’m all for it.
Overall it makes life easier and my own cheque books lie folorn and
unused at the bottom of the filing cabinet.
I haven’t written out a cheque for several years.
I know I’m not exaggerating and it really is that long because it’s now almost a
decade since I gave up running the After Hours Emergency Medical Centre, or to
be more honest, it gave me up. The
nursing staff fancied themselves at the cutting edge as far as technology was concerned and
were consequently disinclined to take wage cheques along to the bank once they realized that with
the flick of a staff meeting and the
mere hint of asking the advice of the Nurses’ Union they could instruct me to
pay them on line. So you see, I have been not just going with the
flow but really trying for at least as long as it takes a new born baby to grow into a
high school uniform.
WHY is it then that Renewing a Motor Vehicle Licence on line
yesterday was so grueling? Why were the
instructions so confusing? What on earth was a `Poli'? Why could I not locate the mysterious Special Code was that had apparently been texted to me? Why did I need it? After an
hour and a half, if I could have found the slumbering cheque books I would
have used one!
