    Not got a clue, sorry, El - when I want to send euros abroad, the HSBC has a facility now where I can do it online, very simply. I *do* know that you'll probably need the IBAN number of the foreign bank concerned.....

    I like the idea of writing in the square what its repaying, by the way!

    I find that it's best to go in the bank branch and ask the staff to help me do complicated stuff like that.
    Think I may have to make myself some of those squares....it gets more tempting by the day.

    That's a new one I must admit tho I would have been tempted to say something rather rude back!
