    Apart from that I've got various foreign cash in a drawer somewhere, €200-300, ~$200, a few thousand Czech Koruna and some AU$.
    That machine at the supermarket takes a cut of your change though, the banks (the bigger branches) have their own machines now and you can lodge the money straight into your account. Very handy

      Handy, but I'd rather Lady Tester buys another pair of shoes than watch some banker piss it all up the wall.

        We usually use ours for duty free (perfumes etc) so whilst it goes in the account, it usually goes straight back out again!! No grubby little bankers with their mitts on my cash!!

                    I thought Chanel was that girl in Amsterdam...never mind, what goes on tour stays on tour.

                      Close. Coco Chantelle if memory serves. Thought I'd inject a subtle nuance of ethnic minority, just to tease out any racial undercurrents you understand.
                      Didn't work though, they all loved me.
