I live 26m from town and only get the opportunity to bank cheques every
2-3 weeks.

I do exactly the same with cheques: Asset.Cheques.

I absolutely agree. I am about to write a reply Jeff's post, so don't
want to duplicate my thoughts here.
Talking of cheques:
I mainly use cheques to fund another one of my accounts. There is
always a huge delay until the receiving bank has processed account
opening and cheque and therefore you always have a date discrepancy.
Likewise with bank transfers between my own accounts. There is usually
a 2-working day delay and I often need to figure out the day of
receipt when looking at my accounts. In fact, it's one of the things I
am really interested in.
The only way to record the two dates is by posting to some other
account and then, two days later, from there to the receiving account.
I do not do that because it would make my statements totally
unreadable and difficult to reconcile.
Ideally, you would like each transaction to have 2 dates (send +
received).
