Selling UK shares from abroad?

Question

Morning folks,
I have some UK shares (about 300 pounds worth) I want to sell.
I'm currently living in New Zealand, therefore, my bank in the UK isn't interested, and my bank in NZ wants to charge me about 150 pounds for the transaction. IS there a way around this? Can I give the shares as a "gift to my mother (she's still in the UK)
Thanks,
Shesque

If you psyically have the stock certificates, just sign them over to your mom, have her cash them and send you the money.
