Buying holiday Euros- Who gives best deal?

We are travelling on a last minute deal to Greece. Does anyone know who offers the best deal for exchanging sterling into euros at the moment? I know it used to be Marks & Spencers or the Post Office. Is that still true or are there anyone else doing a good rate of exchange (without hidden extras)?

We do tend to use cash to save the card charges.
It's great to be ALIVE!

    I can't remember the lst time I changed any Euros at a bank or post office. I just use my Nationwide card wherever I am. I usually have some Euros left when I come back which will last me till I find a cashpoint on my next trip.
