When at our place in the Cotswolds this is one of our locals.......take a look at the Menus for food and drink and you'll get a good idea of the crazy prices now in U.K. I always feel like I've been "raped and pillaged" after a visit :crazy: https://www.crownampneybrook.co.uk/food-and-dri...

Most places in Caribbean have it. Very popular here in Sussex. Cost about £9. Ordered 2 at Royal Horseguards London £32 Ouch.

The Freight Company you use will normally handle the paperwork.

New Chase bank is the way to go for a UK bank account. I opened an account and thinking of using it as my main account.

Best to use a credit card as if you point out it is an unfair deduction you can ask for charge back and claim it back.
