couple of points:
how many people would be willing to use cheques for non-audax purposes, e.g. where they currently use direct debit, to pay bills, make purchases, etc, where possible, in order to boost the number of cheques that are used? If the decline in their use is reversed, they are less likely to be phased out as there is evidence people like them.
Also, I was under the impression that whereever possible we should limit the number of things that can ONLY be done via the internet.
Apparently some tax return that my dad does can only be done online, I was quite surprised at this. Surely it's actually currently possible to enter audaxes without having the internet, by using arrivee magazine, but if you have to use paypal then this would not be possible.
