Hi guys,
I may be unreasonably irritated about this but both OH and I have to get police checks - me for my visa and him as my sponsor - I understand this and am totally fine with it. I even understand that we have to pay and don't think it's particularly excessive considering the cost of everything else - £35 each. But we can only pay through a cheque, postal order or bankers draft. Neither of us have cheque books because banks are trying to phase them out and I've just looked up to find out how to get a postal order and you have to pay 12.5% of the value of the postal order. For some reason that really annoys me, and I am aware how petty it sounds even as I'm typing it but there you go. Grrrrr.
