Best Deposit/Withdrawal method for UK players?

Hi everyone

Apologies for not posting in one of the current threads, but most of them seem to concentrate on US players.

I'm in London, UK and was wondering what you thought was the best way to deposit money to and withdraw from the major sites (FTP, Pacific, Pokerstars, etc)?

My bank doesn't seem to want me to use my credit card. I've looked at setting up an Entropay card (prepaid visa) but the withdrawal fee is 4.95%!!!

Is this standard? Or is there another way that is secure and has better fees.? I'm not too worried about how long the process takes - ie I'm happy to wait a coupla weeks for cashing out (but obviously not for depositing!)

Any info would be great.
Cheers,
HW
