[QUOTE=BruceyBonus;26538678]

In terms of DCC, only the HSBC machines offered it. I was offered DCC four times and all the staff were clear and knowledgable about the "service". All offered a choice of Sterling or Euro before entering the PIN. In one store, the cashier even asked about my choice of currency just on sight of my Halifax card - her response was "good choice" when I opted for Euros! Opting out was easy: green to select DCC or red to opt out./QUOTE]

Usually the "good choice" is the opposite.

Also, the problem with green/red is that a person who is unaware of DCC might think that red will cancel the transaction. The whole thing is setup for you to take the bait, against Visa/MC policy.
