    Can anyone offer some help on what could be the cheapest and safest option ( as in easy to proof the new money legitimately belonged to me if the taxman asks) ?

    Thank you

    Looking at it now, it seems you are worried about the taxman? If you have been outside the UK and not tax resident for some time then it will not be an issue. If you have been tax resident in the UK then maybe you should rethink what you are doing.

    "I have several tens of thousands of euro in a Spanish bank" Judging by this in your original post I am sure they will be happy to do a very good deal.
    I'm not the person with several tens of thousands of Euros. I'm more interested in £1,000 to £5,000 sort of amounts.

    No problem, but what amounts does it take to get to 20 pips? :)

    was 54k gbp last time. Do not ask do not get. You could try it with 5k, he can only say no.

    Thanks. Context is good to help to know how far to press. :)
