Kev, Marks and sparks always seem to have a better rate than the high street and banks. Open on a Sunday also.

The Post Office just came 3rd last in Which survey. First 3 - Chequepoint, ICE and SAGA, followed by Travelex. (Dare I say SAGA seems appropriate for most of you guys  ;D )

Anybody who has a Nationwide account gets bank rate, and no charges, if they use thier cards in the machines here.  Best exchange rate going by far.

On Saturday I got 120€ for £94.34 from Nationwide.  See what I mean?

The rates are all over the place though.  1.272 on Saturday and 1.263 at the end of business yesterday.

But the moral is definitely that if you travel abroad a lot, then a Nationwide account - if only just for this purpose - can save you a bomb over time.  (No, I don't work for them.)
