The money shop has the best rate just don't use the buy back as it's £2.99 and then means you might as well go to the post office.

Any post office or travel agent will either have them in stock, or can get them for you.

First Choice Travel agents was the best rate last week when we got ours.

The rates change daily though so best keep an eye on them.

Hi

If you have a Nationwide Debit card then use a cash machine when you get there, no hidden exchange fees and you get the much better interbank rate rather than the tourist rate.

I also take some cash with me and I change it when I get to my destination as I always find the exchange rates better abroad.

careful with that one if you're from Scotland. We went to Egypt on honeymoon and did this because they told us the Egyptians take any currency. Any currency except Scottish pound notes that is and since we boarded the plane at Glasgow that's pretty much all we had! doh!
