Cancel the cheque

[TalkingofMichaelAngel0]

I was reading some spoilers on Neighbours this evening and they were hinting at one of the characters who has just been conned out of $100K flying to London. The very first comment under the article on Facebook was, 'why didn't he just call the bank and cancel the cheque!'

Aibu to assume that this was a mumsnetter?!

What's the cancel the cheque mumsnet thing about, I've seen it a few times but I think it was before my time

😂

[OrangeIsTheNewPop]

At least it was London and not Maoui

Derli it was advice given to a poster over and over again, long after it was explained why that wasnt possible, and is now often used as a way to point out people dont read the thread before posting.

Cancel the cheque is a euphemism for something that has been posted multiple times by different posters in response to a thread, as if it were a novel suggestion that no one had thought of.

[peaceloveandbiscuits]

X post!

[Schoolisback1973]

Haha!! memories, memories!!

[Catzpyjamas]

Yes, I giggled at that. Then an hour later DD was watching a cartoon and someone mentioned an Elderly Korean Lady

[Derlei]

Haha thanks for clearing that up!!

And I'm part of a neighbours group and also saw someone make the same suggestion

Is the new version something about not delivering a cake? That's where I first encountered cancelling the cheque as well!

[GirlElephant]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Spiralblanket]

What's the Maui thing?

[NightWanderer]

Was the cancel the cheque thread the one where the OP sent a cheque as a wedding present but the bride and groom asked for more money?

Just in case people didn't know

Btw, did anyone mention to the OP to cancel the cheque?

[tillytown]

Nightwanderer, yes, its here www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/2630932-Post-wedding-message-please-help-me-what-the-hell-do-I-say?pg=1&order=

[WalkingInTheAir13]

Alongside Spiralbanket , I've long wondered what is the Maui thing?

The Elderly Korean Lady too?

[RNBrie]

Maui was a bridezilla who was whinging that no one was coming to her destination wedding. She was resoundingly told she was being unreasonable but couldn't see anyone else's point of view. But it's Maui

[ememem84]

Oooh dh sat next to an elderly Korean lady on a plane from Auckland to queens town earlier this week. He told me and I had a giggle.

[OrangeIsTheNewPop]

I saw someone Trexing in Tesco the other day and sniggered 😂

[peaceloveandbiscuits]

You horrors!

[LiviaDrusillaAugusta]

Cancel the cheque is also a widely used phrase in the non-MN world

[peaceloveandbiscuits]

Is there a world beyond MN? I remain unconvinced.
