No, why would they? USD aren't legal tender so UK cash machines only dispense GBP. For $$ your best bet is to just go to the post office and change what you need.

Hi Dara Are you still in BA? I think you and I might be in the same situation and having dealt with this annual headache for the past 2 years it's a pain in the proverbial. After getting my usual ridiculous payment plan again this week and I decided to have a look at what exchange rate they...

Hey, see you all tonight - @lacoqueta is there anything I can bring along refreshment wise? I will try to get there to as close to 7 as possible, but I won't be there on the dot - don't finish in the office til 7pm. Mary

See you next week :) My kindle is proudly telling me I'm 95% of the way through, so a lazy Sunday in a coffee shop and I'm ready too book club. Brilliant choice of book - it's been a reading pleasure :)

I'm not sure where their courts are, but the YMCA advertise racquetball as one of their 'deportes' at the sede Parque. Only problem is that it's way down on the Pre-metro... There is a gym called Tennis Costa Rica in Palermo, which advertises squash and tennis courts - they might be able to...

Hi Juan, I'm living and working in Buenos Aires and always looking for a chance to speak more Spanish. Like you, my language level is quite high - I have a degree in Spanish and lived in Madrid before moving here in April - but I need to practice more to bring up my fluency. You still looking...

I don't think this would work - tried to do a similar thing through HSBC here & my UK account to pay off part of my student loan. Computer very definitely said no! If you find a way, I'd be very interested in finding out how!
