Agreed, with one exception, namely that I (nor anyone I know) have

Belgium, despite my/their cards and said machine both carrying a Visa
logo.

I'm sure I have. But perhaps not since the Euro came in.

I was working in Belgium over the weekend and had no problems with a
machine in Brussels, as I have on countless occasions before. Two of
my passengers, though, *did* have problems. One banked with Barclays
and the other with HSBC. I bank with Lloyd's TSB. Don't know if
that's relevant.
