    I ordered with crown currency at the same rate a few days ago. So they've got £1200 of mine for a few months.

    I bought euro's from them last summer and the service was seamless so I've no reason to suspect anything will go wrong.

    I cant see the rate going any higher than this in 3 months.
    That is an excellent rate.

    Finished at 1.6270 last night.

    Have a good weekend all. Stoke on ESPN2 at the moment. I'm highly excitable :)

    Hi Guys, i was in Marks and Spencers today and they had a cash machine which said something about giving out US dollars with zero comission. Does that mean I can put in my normal UK bank card n get us dollars?
    The flip side of sanity is the game.

    Sounds like it. There are a few such machines in the UK

    But zero commission doesn't mean no charges - they will make their cut (which probably won't be excessive) on the exchange rate
