Hi,
I reckon the rate you saw must have a been a mistake as the current commercial rate is $1.7989 and most high street exchanges are usually at least 5 cents lower than this and in my experience airports are even worse as it is a sellers market there.
There is usually very little to choose between places like M&S , The P.O. and Travelex. Also a Nationwide credit card is a good deal as they don't charge the 2.75% commision that other cards do.

Mick.

You might have read the 'Buy' rate instead! Airport rates are usually less because they know you are in a 'take it or leave it' situation.
