    I know. Sounds strange but we are away to Florida in two weeks and the dollar rate is the worst we've ever seen it. If anyone has any spare dollars at home and they've no use for them or just want to free up some currency we'd be interested in taking them off your hands. I'm sure we can agree a rate between the markets sell/buy rate so we both gain from the sale.

    PM me if anyone is interested.

    For currency exchange my family and I have been using the cheque centre place thingy in Penicuik. They are doing very good rates on exchange as I think they want sterling cash in stock so that they can lend it to the junkies at 20000%APR

    Yeah, we thought the stability of the coalition would help bring the dollar up. Nope. If we'd just bought 2 months ago when we initially planned we'd have got about 20cents more. Arrggghhh!
