    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    I always use Travelex as they guarantee to beat anyone else. Check if they have one at the airport you are flying from and then order and pay online and pick up in departures on the day.

    Make sure you do it in advance though as the rates at the airport are rubbish.

  • Spain probably. I generally find the bank rate in the host country is about the best rate.

    If you intend to pick up from Travelex at the airport, make sure that they are open if you have an early flight.

    I have never seen the one at departures in Aberdeen open yet and would have been snookered if I had arranged to pick up from there. The one before security may have been open, but I didn't check as I don't use it.
