They tried that in Scotland when I lived there, basically if you withdrew any cash from your own bank's ATM then no charge, but any other bank and it cost you. The people voted with their feet and went into the bank to make the withdrawals instead, causing hassle for the staff, overwhelming them with volume of customers and generating bad publicity. The scheme "vanished" a few weeks later. If the banks start charging for withdrawing from ATM’s, there’s an easy and proven way to stop it!

The UK is the odd one out. While we are holding on to “quaint” the rest of the world is passing us by. Magpie France is only one of the 26 countries using the €uro. The UK is the odd one out.
