One of us is wrong! I suspect you have it the wrong way round. I have a
part-time job at a restaurant in Edinburgh and DOLLAR cheques are about
as useful as a nickel when it comes to paying the bill. The ONLY
travellers cheques we take are STERLING and accent has nothing to do
with it. I see no reason why London should be any different. I'm not
asking you to take my word for it though. Check for yourself from some
official source.
