Best ways to pay when your're away: Finding the cheapest holiday money isn't always plain sailing

Article Abstract:

A guide to holiday money is provided. Credit cards can be used to withdraw cash and make purchases overseas, and are useful for emergencies, although a loading may be added. Eurocheques can be expensive and can only be used in Europe. Hard cash will be subject to a loading in the exchange rate and travellers' cheques can be useful, although they are more expensive than plastic cards. Best buys compared with the big banks for foreign currency included Bank of Scotland, First Trust, Dover Eurochange and TTT Moneycorp. Best buys for travellers cheques were American Express, Lloyds TSB, Royal Bank of Scotland and Bank of Scotland.

Dealing with problem neighbours: A clash with a neighbour can make your life unbearable. We look at the most common problems you may face, and the best ways to resolve them

Article Abstract:

The causes of disputes with neighbours are considered, and ways of resolving them. If neighbours are noisy it is important to discuss it with them as early as possible, as they may not realise there is a problem. The 1996 Noise Act gives councils further powers to deal with loud noise. Building work can cause friction and steps should be taken to keep annoyance to neighbours to a minimum. Boundary disputes can be extremely difficult to resolve and can require expensive court action.
