The only reason why a cheque may become stale is: The cheque was issued to you in the past and you have not yet deposited it for cashing it. Any cheque that is older than 180 days is considered stale. If you deposit a stale cheque - the bank will not release the funds
The 'normal' time for one bank to clear another bank's cheque is three working days. The following table shows the day of deposit, when it would normally clear and the delay if there's a bank holiday... Deposit - Clears - Delay Monday - Thursday - Thursday Tuesday - Friday - Friday Wednesday - Monday - Tuesday Thursday - Tuesday - Wednesday Friday - Wednesday - Thursday Obviously - if there's more than one bank holiday after teh cheque has been deposited, there will be an extra days's delay. This would happle for exammple at Easter - when Good friday and Easter monday are BOTH bank holidays.
