Best place to buy Euro's

[funkylad20]

Ok, we all know how appalling the rate is at the moment for Euros...but I need to change a couple of hundred pounds tomorrow for Euros.

Where is the best place to go? Still the Post Office?

Is it SO bad that it will make no difference in the amount and I wait until I am at Gatwick on Saturday and get them from the Exchange Kiosk there rather than waste petrol making a special trip to a post office tomorrow lunchtime?

airport is worst place

best place either marks n spencers or post office

unless theres a cheque cashing shop in your area
they pay higher than post office or marks n spencers

Thomas Cook was giving a better rate than the post office two weeks ago.

How do I check current rates as Thomas Cook is who we booked through so did contemplate them...would like to compare with Post Office. Not sure it is financially really worth 'shopping around' to be honest!

I went to Thomas cook and they phoned around for me while I was in there to prove they were the cheapest. They put the phone on speaker so that I could hear. Good service I thought so I guess they wanted my custom.
