Buy back rates for USD

I've just come back from New York and my boyfriend and I have some dollars left over so are looking to exchange them back to £. The best buy back rate that I have found so far is 2.042 which is not bad since we bought them at a rate of about 1.99, just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere that can do better than that.

    Unless my maths is wrong, you are only losing about £2.50 on £100 worth.

    Ermmm tad to much info there pup.

    However I may be able to help, since mr moo nicked my dubloons I have an empty sack which is very absorbent, if you just pm me your addy i'll send it on.

    Anyway an odd story about my dubloons, my dubloons use to be part of my personal insurance cash, or pics for short. Anyway when i reported the theft of my dubloons (pics) to the police they didnt seem the least bit suprised as they said when I told them that "todays the day that teddy bears have their pic's nicked"

    all the best

    Just tried searching the forums for 'dubloons' to find out what the heck this malarky is all about... 4 out of 5 threads involved the bear :rotfl:

    I'm not even going to try searching for 'barry the squirrells hole' :o
