Howdy all, just wondering if anyone has advice on setting up a bank account in the UK. It may sound simple, but I probably won't have a fixed address? Will this matter? I've heard that some people have had heaps of trouble setting one up.
Has anyone been in this prediciment?

You can set one up with a foreign address - I know Barclays Bank allows that...

HSBC may have a branch in your city, you could check that out. They're based in the UK and they're world wide.
