Re: [Wikimedia-l] Why is bank transfer no longer possible?

Hi Garfield, Thanks for the clarification. It's surprising to me that posting a bank account number could lead to fraud - the bank systems are supposed to be robust enough for that. I know that all charities in the Netherlands post this number on their website - maybe it could be worth while to

I vote for Brussels beer, I tasted them the past weeks and it asks for more. The day before yesterday I heard that some beers from Brussels are typical Brussels as the region has a special local micro climate. But I must say, I think it is good to document cheese, as well as other food/drinks,

British cheese is better than its reputation suggests, if you know where to look. However British cheeses are difficult to distinguish from British breeds of pig. Gloucester Old Spot, Lincolnshire Poacher, Oxford Sandy and Black, Balcombe Brown Ring, Yarg, Mangalitsa - can you tell which is a pig
