This is what I tend to do these days. Beware, however - British cards
do not work everywhere. In particular, I have never encountered a
Belgian cash machine anywhere that would accept a British chip-and-pin
type card, possibly because their standard is different.


That's strange. The other way around there seems to be no problem.
When I was in London last year my Belgian card worked in any ATM in London
(used about 5 different ones)
