Euros or credit / debit card

Hi,
Someone has advised me to convert as little as possible into Euros for my holiday in case the currency collapses. He said to take Sterling and to change it there as needed or to use a credit or debit card. We have Nationwide debit and credit cards, though I believe these are not free anymore.
Is anyone else worried about converting their money to Euros? Or is my friend worrying me needlessly?

I dont think that's very likely in the near future. The Euro is quite strong against the Pound at the moment and if there was a real fear of collapse it would be much weaker... this article may also reassure you http://money.uk.msn.com/news/uk-economy/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=1584722180
