I was not aware of that, ill have to check if that defines 'spend in a foreign country using the card' as withdrawal but if not then I wouldn't worry about it. Most of my usage would be in Sweden (almost fully cashless already) and this month in Finland. I try to avoid using cash as much as possible these days.

I saw it last night. I have never come out of a movie feeling like I did last night. I was expecting something like saving private ryan, full of loud explosions, americanised over stylised violence and wouldn't have been surprised to see a love story in there too.
It was none of that. The violence was realistic, chaotic, humbling and hard to watch. My friends and I came out of the cinema visibly drained.
+1 for going to see on the biggest screen you can find. There were moments in the plane with Tom Hardy which were oddly...peaceful.

Ok so with the above in mind, my bike is locked in a set of garages (visible from my flat and 30 seconds walk from my front door. when in the garage bike is locked with the chain i use when im out and about. quite hefty had it years. I could loop the chain through the bricks at the side of the garage to anchor it. (odd garage design, the sidewalls bricks are spaced, cant imagine why) but thats clumsy and difficult to do for everyday use. so second long chain would be desirable to make that easier which I have been looking into.
Anyway that aside, does anyone know of a security solution like a big steel bar going across the inside of the garage at about knee height that you can padlock in? something so it would mean extra time to grind that off too.
Im sure its something someone with metalworking experience and the right tools could knock up quickly but I am not that person so wondered if there was anything like that already out there?

Ok I finally took the plunge on both Monzo and Revolut.
On-boarding was amazingly easy. I recently set up a first direct bank account and it took over a month with all the paperwork going back and forth. Between receiving an invite link from a friend for Monzo to the "yes we are sending you a card and youre all good to go" message was 25 minutes, whilst walking to the train.Revolut was just as quick and pain free. I am impressed with the Revolut app and options on limiting types of transactions.
looking forward to using them to see if I can budget more responsibly using them. small items only and once the amount has run out for the month then its gone.

ok this is a bit of a web.
Rhinestone was indeed dissolved in 2015 but in May2015 a company with the same name was set up in Ireland. I have seen this before and its done for tax reasons. However I cant see the same directors listed for both which could mean they are actually completely separate companies with no link.

its possibly a coincidence but i think your rhinestone will be the irish company as thats still going. whats the address they give for contact?Interestingly clicking your GRgroup.co.uk link brings up a webpage for Alan Mattey group. I suspect thats a trading name as I can only find 'The Alan Mattey Trust Corporation Ltd' in companies house rather than a group company. (has the same address so will be same company. often the publice name isnt always the same as the Ltd company name.)
its quite possible that Rhinestone in Ireland is owned by the Alan Mattey company based in the UK but I cant get beneficial owners information without paying.
ftfy.
Truly I am amazed by the feat everyone is pulling to compete in this. from the first to the last. I would be broken doing even 100km each day. let alone 4/almost 5 times that. Fascinating. love it.
