Personal cheques are often not really a useful alternative because cheques written out against my bank (the ANZ) are not easily presentable in other countries (I am in Australia).  Also, I am very nervous about sending a money order because it is the next best thing to real money and, as such, there are none of the safeguards which apply to cheques and credit cards.

Thank you, however, for the thought

I do know of the Miscellany and also of the wonderful project that is
the Floriligeum - indeed, I have put a link to it on the Ynys Fawr webpage which I manage (and will do the same with the Miscellany soon!).
