I couldn't figure it out when I visited France. Banks didn't know what I was talking about when I wanted to write a bank check to the innkeeper. How does one pay bills? Does everyone carry cash?
I found out that I could send cash via the post office. They sold a special check that gets mailed. While I was there, I had to wait in a long line behind gypsy looking people. I learned later they were standing in line to collect their weekly dole. They got paid in cash. The French post office does the cash transactions. I don't know what the banks do; they didn't have any customers when I was in there. What's interesting is that to get into a bank you had to pass through two entrance doors like an air lock seal but the postoffice had all that cash sitting in drawers under the counter and the lobby was wide open; no sealed doors. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Hill" <[email protected]> To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2010 6:14 PM Subject: Re: [OT] Re: Southwest Fox 2010 Hi Mike, I don't understand what you mean.
