Royboy in 98 i opened a spanish bank account with british I.D. no problem, when i returned to the U.K. due to unfortunate circumstances,i found i could not open a British Account with Spanish I.D. had no end of trouble,i did not need at that time to open one. i too loved britain all my life, but i can honestly say i loathe what it has become. the dustbin of the world IMHO. many things have really brassed me off, since, voted all me life until then, now i do not give a rats, when some party has the balls to sort things then i will reconsider. end of rant. but can honestly only see value in the new driving licences.
