In the good old, bad old days when there was a limited number of remittance options I sent it via Farochilen Remittance in Earls Court. Once I sent a few hundred quid and it still wasn't in Pinas a few weeks later so I phoned the office and got a very rude female named Apple, so I told her I would be coming to Earls Court. She was MOST surprised when I arrived next day and gave me my money back IMMEDIATELY just to get me out of the office as I was quite remonstrative and loud. Turns out the charlatans hadn't even sent it
