Up on Victoria Street. If you have a look at the links above on this thread (one of my posts), there is a link to TGE and there they have the addresses.

Yep. this has been noted quite a few times.
Get your money from Travelex, theyll match TGE exchange rate, (theres rules such as emailing them on the SAME day you buy it). Travelex will then send the difference in a cheque to your home.
