I see there has just been a bit of movement, pound now at €1.3458, so I expect you could get at least €1.34 with Currency Fair or others now.

Probably. Best time to change into euros is usually about 2 weeks after I've done a transfer. :(

Next couple of weeks could be really interesting.

I know we will get the usual " but it has been factored into the price ", but a real Greek exit, may move it. Trouble is, could be in either direction !

Got some at "ICE" Waterloo station last night on my way to see the "Gunners" play the mighty Leicester ( at times it was difficult to see which team were bottom of the league ) at 1.3255. I notice this morning they are quoting 1.3285.

An astonishing rate as the worst place to get foreign currency is usually at an exit point from the UK. Airports, docks and the Eurostar stations will give you less (sometimes a lot less!) than an exchange specialist or the Post Office. Unless of course you were exchanging five grand or so....or have not told us about any charges?
Do Leicester charge for their pies in Euros now?

Nah !

The Gunners were at home. The giveaway was " Waterloo station". No charges and I only bought 400 euros. I am sure their minimum is 100. You do have to print a voucher from their website to get their best rate. Otherwise it is one cent less.

That is interesting. Would not go out of my way for an extra cent or tiny bit more, but I do pass through the "Strand" now and again.

I'Ve never used anything other than the post office, Thomas Cook or co-op travel.

Presumably if I used one of the services being talked about here, I'd get a better deal.

How do they get the money to you. Special delivery?
