After 40+ years of T/S ownership, I am no longer "an owner"
I experienced this in Kenya (or Tanzania?) earlier this year when the lodge refused to process my charges in shillings. So I got double zammied with the exchange rate "gap". All of the other lodges processed properly in their local currency.
