The wife who is a bad diabetic, decided to send a $10.00 donation to the diabetic Association ,
So off she went to the Post Office to purchase a cheque.
She got it all right but they charged her $8.00 to write it out !!
The flamin rip off artists, and they reckon they're not making any money.

Next time you want to send a fax go to your local MP's office, they will do it for free.

I don't think they will do 100's but a few A4 sheets is no problem.

you're dead right there, Wombat. they won't be getting their grubby little fingers on our cash again,

in future, if the missis still wants to donate, they will have to supply a bank number for direct transfer .

Heard a rumour that Australia Post donated quite a large sum of money to a certain school.
