I used local bitcoin with no problem. It is easy.
You choose a seller and transfer the money to their UK account. Be warned, an internet bank transfer can take about two minute, two hours or doesn't happen until the next working day.

So from start to finish, how long typically does it take to get your bitcoins?

It is a bit random, so don't get paranoid. The seller has to have the bitcoins in their wallet and they are held in escrow by the site so that any disputes can be adjudicated.
I don't think there are many disputes. The sellers just want to earn their percentage and many of them have hundreds of sales and loads of feedback and post their phone numbers. If you take the fees into account the rates are often the same as you would get at mtgox.

It's crazy how hard it is to trade GBP for BTC/LTC.

The amount of hoops you have to jump through for the FSA recognise you as a legitimate exchange must be crazy.

BUT The first entity to work this out will make a lot of money!

It's really sad that us peeps in the UK have so few options to buy bitcoins. I thought I would turn to mining to fix this, but now the people making mining kit require you to buy in bitcoins. Very disappointing really.

Come on Max Keiser, build us an exchange!
