need to convert euros into sterlings
The word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise. Refers usually to difficult choice between two undesirable options.
Often people seem to use this word mistakenly where "quandary" would fit better.

    You will need to use something called a Bureau de Change.

    Most banks and post offices as well as many high street travel agents offer bureau de change services.

    Perhaps if you provide a little more information we could provide you with a little more specific help.

    The confusion arises because you provided only the minimum information - eg do you have cash as in notes or is it a cheque or a pending transfer from a bank account?
    Your reply will affect the exchange rate offered and the advice we can give on here.

    i understand.
    I was not going to shop around so was not asking for advice. I was just asking about feedback for specific company.
