£ at Last
We have resolved the money crisis. It took some time this morning to find a bank that accepted "Plus" cards. "Cirrus" seems to be the universal standard but Simmon's has stopped using it with their new cards. I think that older cards can still use those ATMs but new cards cannot and only have "Plus" on the back. There seem to be three banks in the UK that accept "Plus" (HSBC, Lloyds, and Barclays) but not all of their ATMs are equipped to take "Plus" cards. I found one that was and it gave me money. All the people in line thought I had become a "nutter" when I did a little dance with money in my hand.
We go to see "The Merchant of Venice" at The Globe this afternoon. It is very cloudy and we groundlings may have a wet production.

whew.
i'm so green over y'all going to the Globe. i've always wanted to see a show there!
but sara and i have our own show agenda, so we should be fine.
I rechecked my card and it does NOT have Cirrus on the back. It has a random Interlink thing. I am going to lodge a protest at the bank. How can they change that and not tell us.
On a happy note. The play at the Globe sounds like fun no matter if you are wet or dry.
but if its a VISA check card, won't it work at any ATM that takes VISA?
Only if you want to pay interest for a cash advance!
So happy you got the money thing straightened out! that can be a real mess when you are so far away from home!
Also glad you got to see a play at the Globe. I've been there and it's such a neat place, but never gotten to see a play there...one day maybe...
