PM sent

Tried setting up the pingit service however I never recieved the penny deposit with the reference code - and if you try and call the help line, you get put through to a call centre in india, with a horrible, horrible connection, so it's basically impossible to get anything sorted out.

I've not tried bitcoin-central however

It's gotten harder to buy btc in the uk in a reasonable amount of time after mt.gox stopped taking cash deposits and intersango's had their uk bank closed

(also looking to buy bitcoins via bank transfer if anyone is interested)
