yes sorry i should of put the full name crown currency exchange this place is great for a good rate if you want to book in advance and take a little risk in hope it does no go above what you have bought them for. but it could always drop once you have bought them. but still get that good rate

I was looking on the high street today and from when I last looked 3 days ago the Euro rate appears to have dropped. Thomas Cook were offering 1.14 over £500 and a paltry 1.13 under £500. Post Office was 1.15. First Choice was 1.167 for over £500 and 1.15 under £500.

Just thought I would share my findings.

It seems for the last two days, the euro has dropped slightly, now I would think with the weekend coming, it will rise, and this will be the tate until Monday

Got back from holiday (Italy) last week and received an average of 1.2 using my Nationwide cash card in the ATM's.

Thomas Cook was 1.17 at the weekend. Am taking Nationwide Card with me to Algarve Friday for 2 weeks so will see what they give. (Holds breath) :think

At the moment expect about 1.205 with a Nationwide visa card at an ATM. But don't forget the UK Budget announcement next week, if the markets react badly the rate could be affected - there was news yesterday that there has been a drop in business confidence due to the cuts already announced.

Thanks Steve. We'll still use card as we find it the easiest option :tup
