    Do their rates beat the best cards that most savvy travellers use

    ...try using a card in a beach bar on a small Greek island!:rotfl:

    Savvy travellers would have withdrawn local currency from an ATM on said Island before going to the bar :D

    Why do people always come out with this argument when someone recommends using a card for travel?

    What do you do when you're at home? Do you get paid in cash and keep it under the mattress or something? Most of us keep our money in the bank and use an ATM when we want some cash. And savvy travellers do exactly the same thing when abroad...

    Sadly the internet is not for you.

    The post was taken in jest as the op had provided very little detail and as most people only know Ramsdens as chip shop that is where the humour went.

    No the internet IS for me. I am fine with the internet. So thanks for digging me up and I don't understand why two people have pressed "thanks" to your reply!

    P.S..... Harry Ramsdens is a chip shop. Ramsdens is something entirely different.

    Last time I went to Greece they had an ATM in the baggage reclaim hall at the airport, so you could get some cash while waiting for your bags to show up.

    I appreciated the humour - but I thought Harry Ramsdens ( the chip shop) went bust several years ago.:)

    No it IS for me. I had internet when nobody else did. A Bush ID box powered by Virgin that worked through my TV. (£30 from Index, the catalogue shop in 1997)

    So the internet is defo for me. Been using it for 20 years! LOL
