WARNING: Where NOT to buy your Euros!

Usually I buy my Euros at our local Post Office counter but this week I bought some in the ICE Bureau De Change at St Pancras railway station in London. What a rip-off! Their exchange rate was only 1.1373 to the pound, PLUS a Service Charge of £3, PLUS a Counter Charge of £2.68 for paying with my debit card (which was not mentioned at the time)! This meant that I was effectively charged around £15 more than I would have paid for 200 Euros at the Post Office.
