"Where are you?"  I agree, ALL messages should at least have the
country of origin, although I realise people in USA assume USA unless
another country is mentioned.

I sell in many currencies, but I quote in UK pounds unless I know where
you are.  Most people can take all kinds of currencies in their local
bank, you just need a member of staff who has been trained properly.

For example, I pay a set fee for paying in USA cheques, whether I pay
in 1 or 10; this is useful to know as it keeps charges per customer
down to an acceptable level.  Just ask your local bank; their head
office will know, even if the local branch does not.

So. don't let location put you off.  I buy 75% from outside of UK
and I have no trouble (except customs, and that is another story!).
