I'd say it's more a case of "Members who post using the web form have a
clear advantage". Luckily I do most of the time 8?)

Hmmm. Someone may have. I have a limited amount, but it's not Lying Around(TM)

Try a bank at which you have an account. Most of them bump up the fee if you
don't have an A/C with them. I haven't found any cheap sources in the
street. Of course, you could always sell some Lego to an American... 8?)

Dunno. Exchange rate relatively good right now. Relative to couple of
months ago, anyway. Which p***es me off, having just returned from a holiday
there. It may continue up, in which caase you might wanna wait, or more
likely it'll slump again to new lows, in which case you'd be better buying
up today.
