money money money MONEY!

Ummm, read through the thread. That's what I've been saying
@Sofi - High St travel agents won't beat M&S or Tesco as their overheads are too high. Check the rates online and remember these are commision free.
@yay-disney - The London ones like the booths on Oxford Street usually charge a handling fee. I got caught out last year to the tune of £7.25. Not a massive amount, but enough for a few ice creams in Epcot ;D

 

Oh sorry, I have been reading through it, there's just so many ideas and I haven't got the greatest memory in the world.


M+S are doing dollars for £1 to $1.46

and the Post Offices at the same. Not a lot in it really....

 

The Money Shop were doing $1.49 today, i just have never noticed much difference between the travel agents and m&s. last year on the same day me and my bf were going for euros and thomas cook topped them all so we got them there, i'm not gunna disagree with u tho cos i really have no clue about how it all works. x

 

I found the best website - it's from that guy you mentioned earlier on GMTV... it shows all the exchange rates on one page including the online ones:
