Leaving Uk With Hard Cash ...

Hmm.

If I'd known about this when I flew out of LHR last year I might have been less concerned with the jar of Marmite that the b*stards stole from me and more concerned about the receipt-less 5000EUR I had in my pocket!

Argh!! They confiscated your marmite? Now that really is a story. I go back to UK every year to get a new 'O' Visa, and bring back 2 large jars of marmite, and 2 large jars of colmans.

Oh, and to stick with the subject, at least 10k in £50 notes to get the best exchange rate from the gold shop in Soi Thaniya. Best exchange rate I've located so far.

Yes but 10k is NO problem when you are stopped IF you can prove where it came from and if you cannot, you risk it being detained, at which point you have 3 months to provide satisfactory proof and have it returned.

Am sure many read about the guy going to the car auctions in Reading having 2200 retained by Police under same rules.
