Re: Notes and Noticings from the road
Actually, I think the banks have a fairly minimal (as small as I can make it) impact on my currency transactions, in part because I never deal with exchanges; I use bank ATMs. That way, the exchange takes place not on my account, but as an interbank transaction at the base rate banks use with each other.

I suspect you're probably referring to a beer-consuming country, GarryRF, but there are so many.....The Aussies certainly come to mind.

I THINK I know which one and only because my neighbor is from this country and was talking about it recently. So I'm going to guess...Scotland because of Irn-Bru.

Iron Brew it is. Made in Scotland. From Girders. (So the ad says) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGyKpx12d_E TravelGirlJenn. Love that quote on your comment. Since I bought a TomTom with US maps on I've been seeing a new America. I can now get lost on my annual road trip around the US and the places I've found are amazing. I just follow my curiosity. And near the end of the day I ask my English speaking lady to take me home. And she says "Keep right and join the Motorway" Love it !
