Some of you will probably know this, but for those who do not, you may find this of use.
Most banks in the UK will charge for you putting USA checks in. But to reduce charges its best to pay several checks in together as (you will need to check this with your bank) they will just charge for the one deposit on all the checks rather than on each check (i.e. you could pay in 5 at one point and only get charged say £6 on the whole lot).
Just make sure the checks do not go out of date. I think with use checks its about 180 days. So one suggestion is to pay your checks in every other month. I.e., put them into a box and pay them to your bank every second month on the first Monday.
Of course if you are getting large amounts, often its cheaper and quicker to wire the cash direct to your bank. Most affiliates will not charge if your amount is $500 or more. Even then the charge is about $30 (£15), which may still be worth it as you do not need to pay bank charges and the money is direct.
Its worth checking with your bank.
It may also be worth a someone who runs a UK webmaster site to do a check on what banks are best for adult webmasters who deal with USA and other currencies, as I am sure some banks are better than others.
