Was wondering if any of you can advise on the most simple way to get BTC in the UK? MtGox I find very irrating, and the forms of documentation they ask for to get verified (as I wish to do a bank transfer) I don't trust providing online.
You can send cash (GBP) or check to Bitcoin Nordic, by mail, to purchase bitcoins:

The only other market exchange with service from UK banks is Mt. Gox. With Mt. Gox you can deposit cash at Barclays for credit to your Mt. Gox account. A 1.5% fee applies. You don't need to register anything other than an e-mail address with Mt. Gox (though they may grief you if you use Tor to access your account).
