Just to let you know that the train ticket costs have been posted to you, can you please confirm when you have received the cheque, if you have not received within the next couple of days let me know and I will cancel the cheque and send another by registered post.
Just as well you did not purchase the car, as the next day the starter motor packed up at a cost of £500 pounds, also the rear screen has been replaced with a new one

Hi Nick,
Since you chose to put this onto an open forum, I feel it's ok to reply here. As requested, I did let you know the cheque did not arrive. Neither, after approx a week, has anything arrived by registered mail. Could I suggest that there is clearly there is an issue with your local post office. May I suggest further that you ask your local post office to send the cheque under the auspices of guaranteed delivery next day before 1.00pm. They will probably charge about £2-£3 for this, and I'm quite happy you subtract that from the overall costs of £139.70 which, if I may quote you directly, you said:
"....1st of all you will not be out of pocket, I will send you a cheque for the amount you have listed below ... not many people in this day and age would do that. Also sorry again for any arrangements your wife has made changing her working days etc."
You would also be wise to ensure that your bank cancels the first two cheques, but, as I said earlier, I'll let you know if they subsequently arrive.
best regards
