Best euro to pound exchange rate?

Options
DH works in Dublin so gets paid in euros. Heard on radio last week that somewhere in Newry was offering a better exchange rate than normal.

Does anyone know where it was or any other ideas for a better than normal exchange rate. dont mind a bit of travel if it will give us some more money, changing about 3000 euros a mth so a small difference in exchange rate could be worthwhile.


Thanks

    Don't know this place in Newry but need to change around £3000 from sterling to euro - may be mutual benefit as there is a difference in buying/selling rate for currency.

    Personal deals like this would be ideal for you Freddie as you cut out the middle man's profit. You should exchange at the official rate which can be found easily at this address:
