# like a cheque
you pay e.g. £5 at the post office and get a £5 pound postal order that can be cashed at other post offices, just a safer way of sending money through the post.

# the banks give 16 year olds all sorts
they used to offer actual cash and lots of record vouchers/gift certificates and stuff.
All on the basis that once you've got an accoutn with them you'll stay with them and give them all your money.

Once you're 20 and unemployed and in debt they'll tell you to sod off.

# but not

# Actually...
...a £5 postal order will cost you more than £5.

The Post Office add a charge on.
