Hi Pete. ;) regarding Nationwide flexi acount. i have been using mine here, for almost 4 years to draw money out FOC. However since Nov 2010 they have introduced a charge, and i now have to pay 6 pounds each time I withdraw 300 euros. If they are not charging you, I will hot foot it to my English branch of nationwide when I go over next week, and ask for a refund. At the moment i am using my Natiowide credit card to make purchases where i can, and paying t off straight away on line.They are not making a charge for using this in Europe until July. Anyone know of another bank that still allows free withdrawls in Europe.  [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif] [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]
