Can anyone reccommend the best place to get these at the moment for a good exchange rate?

Where did you get them and what was the rate?

Many Thanks

I go mine on Saturday 9th May, from M&S, and I got 1.07 euros to the pound. By far my worst exchange rate yet, but hey, thats the way things are at the moment :confused3.

I got some yesterday online from everything4travel and I got 1.10 - I ordered them at lunchtime and they came this morning - minimum £300 for free delivery.
A good currency comparision site is Compare Travel Money. (http://www.comparetravelmoney.co.uk/)

About to order some from Travelex.co.uk when I get paid tomorrow. Their price today was 1.1005, hopefully it'll be better than that in the morning.

My advice would be to leave it as late as possible before getting your money - the exchange rate is predicted to keep improving over the next few months, which should bring benefits if you leave it a bit later.

I often find the Clydesdale bank have good rates - not sure how many branches they will have down in England though.

The Yorkshire bank is the sister bank of the Clydesdale in England, if that helps :).

i just exchanged mine today and got 1.06 to the £...very bad times indeed :sad2: got ours from holiday hypermarket where we also booked our holiday, but your best bet is to go M&S, i got the best rate when i exchanged into dollars before.

Whatever you do don't wait till you get to Disney. I always wait till I get on holiday and withdraw cash out of my nationwide account at an ATM as they always give a good rate and they did between 1.134 and 1.136 (just got back Wednesday) HOWEVER we changed about £40 cash soon as we got to the hotel just tohave some money before we got to an ATM and the rate was 0.98 arghhhhhh......
