    Best place to get Euros

    Where is the best place to get Euros? I live in London and am going to France in June. Would like to know either places with no commission and/or best exchange rates at the moment - a combination of whoever gives the best price...

    No commission means nothing if you get a bad rate. The best deals tend to come if you use a debit card to take money out of a cash machine overseas but some banks now charge fees for this.

    I'm the same, going to Spain at the end of this month. So you reckon cash withdrawals over there would be better than changning currency over here (obviously subject to charges off Barclays)?
    You gotta tie yourself to the mast my friend, and the storm will end.
