    It never ceases to amaze me that in a country when you can literally eat raw pork and onions on bread for breakfast or eat bacon fat spread on bread that you can't buy decent smoked back bacon.

    Take a photo of the card with the barcode (in fact you only need the barcode). Email it to a friend in the UK and get them to scan it at Subway.
