Of course using the ATM is almost as good most of the time even figuring in fees but one runs the risk of losing your card or not getting cash from the machine...which happens just enough to be a pain in the ass. The current workaround of using the ATM in Rocky's works well for US and Canadian guys though. Not sure if it would be advantages for those dealing in pounds. perhaps Rick or Jesse can share an opinion.

i dont get charged for using my atm abroad but always worry about the machine taking it

You may want to check with your bank to see if you can get an extra card. I always have two, and I keep thinking that's why the ATM's never eat my card.... it would be a waste of time for them....LOL
