Post by: Paul Coleman on September 13, 2011, 04:57:40 pm: I've had it the other way around. I received a cheque for an £11 job a couple of years back. In addition to the £11er, there was a cheque for about £1,300.
Naturally I posted it back straight away with a covering letter. Turned out that it was meant for the plumber ;D
