My refund came in through the night, thank you so much Sebastian for all your hard work. In fact just spending the money on parts to build a new HTPC to run XBMC on (Haswell and everything, quite a beauty). I know this sounds like quite noob question, but what is the conscientious on the bet way toi turn the BTC into GBP? I've used localbitcoins.com in the past, but there seems to be quite a difference between that and MtGox.

Bitstamp.net have relatively low fees for SEPA withdrawls and the BTC price is usually fair. However, be careful as UK banks will often charge a fee to receive an incoming SPEA payment, so you'd need to check with your bank what their policy is.
