    Cash pick up in BsAs (Sterling exchange)

    As Azimo no longer do this, I was wondering how others get their money in Argentina. I have various means to look at but I do not know if I can order by my Bankers card (preferably not credit card) and pick up cash from a local office in BsAs. I am due out at the end of the year and need a way...

    Covid rules

    More On The Dog Doo

    I just watched a lady dragging her little dog along the pavement (sidewalk) It dragged its arse along a full block. Do locals not realise that this is a sign of worms?

    Where Do All The Dead People Go?

    Traveler Cheques

    OK, I don't use them, but I was asked today where they can be cashed and was at a loss to answer. Does anyone know, or has anyone used them here. I know that big hotels will cash them but anywhere other than this, just in case I am asked again.

    Main de Dieu

    Are we Brits now going to get some sympathy from the Irish (or visa versa)? Will Thierry Henry now be demonised in Ireland like Maradona is in England? Will the French be wearing t-shirts with Homer Simpson wearing French colours crying Main de Dieu? :rolleyes: Just asking.
