If you hold an HSBC account with a debit card you will have no problems withrawing funds from any ATM in the city, but it will only be in pesos. I have found HSBC rates to be more than favourable (compared to the rates I get at home, local bank or ugh! post office). My wife who has a Natwest...

I am not understanding this thread; Firstly I understood the Metropolitano was always strictly for portenos, but anyone can enter the mudial. The clue is in the title. Secondly it was on Thursday at Layola not Wednesday or am I missing something?

If you know your account number and sort code, there is no reason you cannot deposit straight into your account. A bit late I know, but if travelling and working abroad you really should be with HSBC, as most UK banks are useless internationally. If you were with them you could deposit at any...

There is a great guy at Guardia Vieja 3985. I took some ladies dance shoes there and he spent nearly a week trying to get a replacement buckle. When he failed he refunded my $12ar even though niether I nor my wife were bothered that the new buckle was slightly different. Since then he has done...

Another 9yo joke What is orange and sounds like a parrot? A Carrot:D

Ah! the first useful comment. While this is is no doubt true, in a years time or even less, the Arab world will have forgotten how bad Gadaffi was and we (that is America Britain France) will have just another reason to be hated. If you doubt this, just read some of the posts already on this...

I bought two pairs in 2004 a couple of doors down from Tortoni's. They have been an excellent fit and simply refuse to wear out. A pair of black brouges and a pair of brown oxfords, the guy did say that they had a lifetime gaurantee all I had to do was bring him over to the UK to replace them...

You misunderstand me, I was saying that they do not understand my Spanish not my English. I think those who are better educated understand better someone struggling with their language. Justa s here in the UK if you came with a foreign accent and try to get by in Glasgow or Liverpool only the...

You need to understand that it is the poorest educated and ignorant who cannot understand you. In one restaurant the waiter ran off when he heard me speak, the next guy (who could just about manage good morning so was not fluent english) understood me perfectly, now he always gets our custom...

I am surprised that this has not been replied to by a local, (maybe this will prompt a reply). A very small percentage of locals actually dance tango ask almost any local what tango means to them and they will either say tourism and foriegners, or they will talk of the music. Over here in the...

Forgive the touch of sarcasm. But I find that in BsAs they start complaining of the cold when the temperature gets below 10º C. Our friend would not come out when the temperature dropped to 9º at night even though she had a car, in the basement of her building. She did not actually have to go...

I was here for "the big Freeze" in 2007 and I had to put a jacket and hat on on two different days.:eek: Most places have gas and electric now you know, there are not many places left where there is a hole in the roof and you have to burn some sticks to keep warm.

You need to decide how often you will be withdrawing cash. There is a charge every time you withdraw with Natwest (was $6 when I was with them) There is a monthly charge of £12.95 for the HSBC premier account, If you use a credit card you not only pay the withdrawal charge but also interest from...

You may have to defeat the shutters, by poking something into the earth pin slot, this will push the shutters down out of the way.

If you have a UK adaptor you may find that it will allow the use of a shaver plug, I know mine does.

Be gateful, if those stupid people had not paid three times as much for their seats, we commoners would not be able to afford to fly.

I second that, Great transport (B subte right to the middle). Bargain prices on the property. Close enough to town, you can walk to Palermo and Cabllito even Villa Crespo. Lots of artisanal furniture makers, Wood yards, ferreterias, Pastelerias, supermarkets (Jumbo, Disco, Coto all...

Sign in a window on Scalabrini (around 900 I think) "Yes it does Hurt" I guess that they speak English.:)

This will never happen, because like domestic violence, rape, and certain health issues, men are just too macho to admit that they do happen.

Sames as, :( if only, All you actually need is £1000 per month going in, and of course you pay the monthly fee.
