Writing a cheque out to 'cash'

[robjf]

I know this is a really random question but i was just watching friends (lol) and this was mentioned. Is it possible to do this in the UK, ie so the cheque doesnt have to be physically paid into an account.

You mean writing a cheque to pay for something in a shop?

Why are you asking, found somebodies cheque book?

Nooo. Writing a cheque to 'cash' by meaning you could write a cheque to someone but instead of writing their name writing 'cash' so that when it was taken to a bank, they get the cash instead. I realise it would be the worst idea ever but after a bit of research i think its allowed in New Zealand.

But i cant seem to find anything about this in the UK
