if you can get in contact with whoever wrote the cheque, you may be able to persuade them to replace it

6 months is right but that doesn't matter if you can get it past the teller. When it gets to the bank that it is drawn against they won't even look at it if it's under £10k.

I recently asked this question in my youngest's bank, (HSBC): after much checking, they announced that the life of a cheque is now indefinite
