Most efficient way to withdraw from PP to the UK?

Hi folks,

Just started playing at party and so far so good, except that the bank want to take a month to clear their cheques and charge a fee on top. Just wandering how other UK players repatriate their winnings. Will banks take a cut on netteller transactions and if so is it heinous? Am I just with the wrong bank? I know the obvious answer is to ask the bank(s) but I'd rather have the correct answer...

Any help appreciated.
