_This_ is what's really needed to make it _easy_ and _inexpensive_ for 
overseas fans to purchase from the KBC.

If the KBC would accept Visa & MasterCard, overseas fans could just mail (not
email--not secure enough unless encrypted) them their card number, KBC would
bill it in English pounds, and the credit card bill would arrive with the 
charge converted to local currency.  _Easy_

Regards,
Andy

P.S.  What exchange rate would the currency be converted?  What date would
      this exchange rate be determined?  See your cardmember agreement for
      details.  Depending on the credit card, you often get a better
      exchange rate through the credit card than you could get as an
      individual.  This is because the credit card companies can transact
      on the spot & futures currency markets.
