bank, post office, travel agent. lock thread 
You're rubbish.

I've not been abroad in 5 years, so not sure what the deal is. Had to apply for a new passport too!
Just looked at the post office and £300 will get me €362 Euros but what about storing the money? Their MasterCard Eurocard thing looks sh!t too be honest, fees to take out cash etc.
Dolly, off to Gran Canaria, thing is I'd prefer to get them here just in case there are any nasty surprises.
