Jeff, I appreciate that- really curious to hear what you sound like now!

Just called in at my local bank, and I'm informed that cheques in foreign currency can apparently be deposited there & converted automatically into sterling. So we'll say a cheque for $12 for any Canadian customers, if that sounds good.

I'm going to be largely offline for a while until my internet connection's fixed, BTW, just so's people know- hopefully won't be too long...
