Jolly decent of you old boy, and the same to you with bells (Christmas ones, natch) on.

Ditto to all.
Just got a nice card from the HMRC, "Please pay us £2,353", just what you want at christmas time!

You could always ignore it and claim it had been "lost in transit" along with everything else. Perhaps tell them that you have instituted a thorough search and you have no evidence that it has got into criminal hands, but it is still missing and therefore you cannot be expected to pay it.
Somehow, I don't think these things ever work in our favour, though.

Not sure how I can fit a fat cheque onto a CD, it would make it more convenient for them to lose!

Post them the cheque now but "forget" to sign it. They will have to mark it as received, and then return it to you to be signed which over crimbo could take a couple of weeks. :-)

Even better, I'll write all my personal details on the back, they'll lose that for sure!

If this is a income tax bill it's not due until the 31st Jan '08 so why bother faffing about now?

Or, if it's due, pay it to keep the tramps in benefits.

I'm not, I was just grumbling about receiving it this morning, then we got into gags about stuff getting lost in the post.

You can (in theory) write a cheque on anything. those huge ones used for photocalls are valid if they've been properly written and signed, although in the past banks have refused to 'honour' cheques written on rotting fish (paying tax too, IIRC), and other unsavoury items.
I'd like to try one on a large block of ice ("I gave you a cheque and you got it all wet - 's not my fault!), but somehow, despite the reception I get in certain financial establishments, I don't think it'd work.
