Can anyone let me know where they got their currency from or where the best rate is?
-
always get from crown currency exchange 1.19 at the momment never had any problem
-
thompsons will price match any quote you find i think (within reason ie they wouldnt do a quote from one shop in london for my parents - they do live in north yorkshire)
-
It's just under €1.18 here today - good sign maybe!!
-
Called into Thomsons today to pick our tickets up and asked what the rate was today it is 1.12 does anybody know if we would get a better rate once we get to ss
-
Might do, but you'll probably have to pay commission. Most competitive in UK is Travelex online or Post Office online. M&S quite competitive as well. Don't use travelex at the airport though.
However, at mo and over next few weeks i wouldn't expect much difference in exchange rate, there's nothing on the 'economic' horizon to suggest much difference from 1.12/1.13 to the £.

Thanks Bristol Boy for replying will wait a few more days to see if any change.

Nowhere near that up the "Grim North" so if you are going in September get me mine and Sandra will see to the financial side. Chrisno2 will get the drinks, Zoe will bring the cider and the party can begin!
Mr Camelot last night ? Like my ****!!

The Euro is a €35Million roll-over tomorrow!
-
Might just give the Euro millions a go tonight. You never know lol!!!
Going to get our currency today. Hoping for at least €1.14 / £1.00
-
If you get a good rate can you let us know what and where from? Thanks everyone for your replies.
-
got a rate of 1.148 from going places yesterday said they would beter any quote exept online
-
Hi Streety. Welcome to the forums. Are you sure they offered €1.48. Seems a bit out of context with the actual going rates being at about €1.14 / €1.15.
-
Hi. called into Thomsons in Cardiff today and the rate was 1.10 it was 1.12 yesterday they said it usualy drops at the weekend and to try again next tues or wed.
-
I got €1.14 for ours today at Thomsons in Glossop.
-

sorry about the rate i put down but it was a typeing mistake on my part the actual rate was 1.148
-
Thought it seemed to good lol!!!!!
-
Still at €1.17 locally here!! Seems that different parts of the country offer different rates - that's naughty!!
-
It is naughty tony as Thomsons in Cardiff yesterday was only 1.10
-
So Sunshine you Know him as Naughty Tony too! The exchange rate does tend to look better the closer to London you get LOL
-
Seems like some companies have less competition and scam the public, because they can!!
-
I work and live near London. Can you let me know where they are offering 1.17?
-
Three weeks ago in San Stef you were getting €113 for £100 after commission, cheers
-

Terminal 5 Heathrow, I'll have to check which money exchange Co.,
was doing it as my wife works in the Airport and keeps a check on it.
They may charge commission, (not sure), but she gets it commission free as an airport staff perk whenever we fly.
€1.176 yesterday. It looks like it is slowly rising again!!
I notice that San Stef rates are usually slightly better than UK.
-
Regarding Currency............. Is this the Current data?............ Or do we plug in?.................. Wireless doesn't work I take it?
-
Believe me - - -I have to listen to the update every time she visits the terminals!
"guess what the exchange rate is today in T1 and in T4 it's and in T5 it's . . . . - - - are you listening?" - - "yes dear"!!
Now! if she'd said - - "you should'ave seen what this girl was wearing - or not wearing in the terminal today - Etc"
She would have had my full attention and it would have been - - - -
"well did you take a picture on your phone"? -
"don't be silly" etc!! but at least I would have been more interested!!
Strangely, there are small differences between the exchanges in diferent terminals as well - work that one out!!
You would think that they would all be the same!!
-
hi all
could somebody find out the latest currency rate in san stef at the minute for me please as my mum will be arriving on friday and she doesnt know if to get her travel money at home or wait until she gets to san stef
many thanks xxjustinexx
-
We have always found it's slightly better there!
But we are talking pennies these days realistically, with the pound the way it is!!
Take some Euros - take English and change the bulk there is my advice!!
-
How current is the currency information? If it is old info the currency could lack currency !
-
Don - I think you've been on the "current" wine again!!
-
That's easy for you to say while sitting on your current chair,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Hope it's not plugged in LOL
-
Not currently!! Thanks! LOL
-
On that note I'll turn AC|DC on......................... Highway to Hell !!! So why didn't Sir Harry Secombe sing that?
-
It's all in the haircut!!!
