I spent several days in the country in 1992 and 1995 and spoke English more
often than I spoke Dutch.

Knowing how Englishmen speak English, I'm surprised the Swedes did not rank
first.:-)

My VISA card will work in an ABM but I can only get cash advances from my
VISA account.  Our debit cards allow us to pay for purchases at any store
with a debit machine and to withdraw from or deposit to any account linked
to the card but I have two of those because I bank with two different
banks.

Take care,
