I've now had confirmation from several readers in both the UK and Australia that it is possible to purchase the American based FindmyPast (www.findmypast.com) Pioneer subscription from outside of the US, though this offer is for a limited period only.
The offer is for a 75% discount on the normal price - meaning access is just $4.95 a month. In proper money that means an annual subscription will cost just approximately £37.85 for a year's access to the holdings of FindmyPast US, FindmyPast UK, FindmyPast Ireland and FindmyPast Australasia.
I would suggest readers may wish to consider adopting the get-in-like-Flynn strategy...! (Note the small print on the site: This offer can be discontinued at our sole discretion at any time. Please check the web site to see if the offer still stands.)

Have just completed purchase, not had time to mowdie about yet. I had to register first but used my FMP UK details and it was happy. Dead simple process to then go back to home page, click on Pioneer offer (top right)and a few seconds later I was paid up. I couldn't see anywhere that the offer runs out today (26th) but it did tell me that my sub expires 26 July 2013. It also says this up at the top of the home page when your logged in.
