I compared post office, local travel bureau, m & s, Debenhams and John Lewis last weekend and John Lewis had the best rate at around $1.32. Hope that helps.

John Lewis was best for us in April as well but they aren't on all comparison sites.

You can collect from Waitrose as well if there's one close and you don't like the idea of it being posted.

Go on compareholidaymoney.com they are showing the best rates. I got 1-31 yesterday, with Currency Online, my mum was watching the rate for me and it went to 1.40 but then she passed away and I took my eye off the ball and it went right down. There are a few doing 1.31 on there, good luck

Do you have a Ramsdens near you? As they are usually pretty competitive for the high street. Otherwise we have used online places like Debenhams or Thomascook travel money. A lot of the online companies do next day delivery of you order before 2pm.

Should I mention we did most of ours at 1.42...

Although we were only getting 1.24 last year.
