i will be in Slough, UK for work for about 9-10 months (Aug 2010 to May 2011), appreciate if any experienced bro/sis out there can help on some of the issues:
1. i will be opening an local UK bank account there (most likely Barclays or Citibank), from some of the online resources i found, with UK Atm card, we can withdraw from almost all of the ATMs in UK without any extra fees, including ATMs of other banks, is it the case? i can't find any information on the bank's website.
2. because of the relatively high humidity in UK, i supposed i will need a dry cabinet/dry box for the 9/10 months period? any idea any reliable local shops/online shops/2nd hand shops in that area?
TIA for all the helps!
