When I ordered my Denis Welch head, studs and gasket I used my Credit
card with no problem. I would suggest that you call them and speak to
a human being there about this. With any luck you might get someone
else than you got last time if you spoke with them rather than
converse by email. Something is wrong. My Mastercard doesn't charge
me extra for 'foreign' currencies. Most credit cards don't. You can
certainly charge in UK pounds on your card unless your card is unique.
Perhaps you happen to have one that hasn't gotten updated yet? Denis
Welch's website shows the Visa and Mastercard logos on the first page.
