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 £.

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 ****!!

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.
