Unused Euros

Hi,

I'm back in Blighty following a nice Spanish holiday and have a few (30) euros left over, I wouldn't mind chaning them back to GBP. I know it's not a lot, but where should I go to get the best rate?

Cheers,
Sean.

    Are yu going away soon anywhere else.
    Do you have any family friends who are going away.

    the pound is getting stronger so you would probably get more value hanging on to them
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    just walk into your Bank, exchange them up and pay them into your bank account, or take the cash!
    its really not worth worrying about the rate when its such a tiny tiny amount
    Please take the time to have a look around my Daughter's website www.daisypalmertrust.co.uk

    Trouble is, the rate you BUY at isn't the same as what you Sell them back at. They've got you over a barrel.

    Just save them for your next European jaunt.

    Or if your in Ulster, why not just keep them for next time your in the south. Or even pop down to Newry for the day...or just over the border!

    But if in Ulster (Cavan, Donegal, and Monaghan, that is) - they use Euros there anyway.

    And of course if your in Armagh, Derry or Antrim your in the North ;)

    Either way, I'd just keep them and spend them in the south! It'll get you like two drinks down there!
