  1. Unless you like paying duty......dont use DHL etc They are hand in glove with customs, in Thailand they pre inspect for 'copy' etc. At destination they pay customs the duty....then pursue the recipient (often well after delivery) for the duty plus thier 'handling fees'. If you must go with them use a ficticious name c/o the address youre sending to. Then when the tardy duty invoice comes tell them Pietro Papagopolous bugged out as soon as he got his parcel...and say when they do catch up with him youd like your wallet back too ;-) Post Office everytime. Check out the rates here: http
  2. These threads frankly amuse me You deserve all you get Coming to the opposite side of the planet then squealing like piglets if you cant get your tawdry national dishes, just like your mum makes. Conversely try getting a passable Laarb Moo in Bradford Or a good Som Tam Bhlalar in Yarhoo Nebraska. Sheesh. .
  3. Possible reason for this situation....Nationwide have been running out a new on line security update with a card reader/pin generator device for some on line transactions. This has necessitated the issue of new cards (even if in advance of the existing cards expiry dates). If this was the 'security reason' and reason for the new card, you've been warned long enough and loud enough by mail and when logging in on line. @ bronto I had no problem opening the two secondary accounts. 2nd one I did on line. 3rd one in branch some grumbling about 'these aren't automatically granted' etc I ex
  4. Best combo Ive found..... Three separate Nationwide Flex accounts with ATM cards One Nationwide esavings account Keep bulk of funds in the savings and cascade down (on line) to the three 'drawing' accounts each in £300 increments (the daily withdraw limit). Three strings to my bow if one should be damaged or eaten by an ATM. Effectively £900 per day when I need it. And if one is compromised in some way very little in it to be misappropriated. & yes I too am puzzled by the OP's predicament as NW always declare no need to preinform them of travel etc. .

  12. plus the plethora of Taxis in the airport (the unoffical touts recoil like B movie vampires from a crucifix, when you mention youre booked on the Bell bus )..... all of whom seem to think its their perogative to squander your time while they daly about squeezing every last kilometer out of their last squirt of LPG or else stopping for 'pee pee' or indeed detouring to get LPG. .
  13. I read about these people here on the forum, and as my flight was not my usual one, and arrived early morning I decided to give them a try.
