Best Euro rate?

I use; www.bestforeignexchange.com/

They are the wholesalers who supply all the travel markets.
You usually get .08 above what M&S, Post Office etc. are offering.

They're also at the top of the list if you check travelsupermarket.com

Thats correct the PO have different rates one in store one online !! i ALWAYS used to use the PO i find that Cheque cashing centre !!(is that the name of the business?) beats the PO every time (when cashing on the spot) dunno if it beats the internet price from PO

yeah i generally use marks and spencers, last time i just used my card, cant remember the rate but was a good rate and the bank only charged me £1.50 so just pull out as much as you can to avoid getting the charges everytime

I cashed in recently at 1.08 from the Post Office.
This cost me £369.24 for exactlty €400, for casual pocket money. I'll still use the ATM but remember to inform your bank of travel dates, just in case if things go awry and your card gets frozen.
