How pedantic are banks?

It happens to me sometimes, I just change the date and write their initials by it.

Good idea, I'll try that. Makes a mockery of the initialling thing really.

On second thoughts, I'd never get the pen and handwriting to look the same.

If it was 2006, easy enough to loop the 6 to make an 8 anyway.

the pen does not need to match, they changed it on a later date than they wrote the initial cheque.

Not every (old) person has a husband/wife or children or siblings and are pretty much close relative free.

I will pass on a tip given to me many years ago: It is much easier to copy a signature if you turn it upside down. That way, you are copying the shapes without unconsciously imposing your own writing style on them.

Although in fact the banks do not check signatures on low value cheques. Years ago when I had a retail business my staff on occasions accepted unsigned cheques. I signed them (with no idea what the genuine signature looked like). They always went through without a problem

This was when I worked for an import/export company. Customers would often make mistakes when completing Customs declaration forms, so it was common practice to fill in another form correctly and, rather than delay the presentation of documents by returning them for the customer's signature, one of the senior clerks would copy the signature from the original form. It probably didn't matter what the signature was (one customer never completed a form and one of the senior clerks always signed the form without knowing what the signature should look like). However, it was a matter of principle to try to get it to look as close to the original as possible.

Unconsciously means without conscious thought, which does not equate to being unconscious.
