Euro to Sterling

I have acquired a couple of thousand euros and need to find out the best way to turn it into sterling. Post office rate is abysmal so I may even cross the border and try over there.

Another option is to sit on it and hope sterling weakens against the euro.....

Thieving capitalists, come to my aid please. Very Happy

Buy something with it that needs a bit of fixing to make it more valuable and then sell it for poundses.

Buy something tangible across the border.

If you can shop in Enniskillen they take euros at a way better rate than any exchange.

Fill upon diesel too if you can.

Not a good answer sorry Rolling Eyes

Interesting ideas, but spending it as euros isn't an option. Big Verne wants something with the queens head on it.

Bum, that rules out Krugerrands then.

Can you get it to me by Tuesday?
I'm going to Franceland then. (Although I probably won't be spending €2 k in a week).

nahh, the recently widowed Nigerian prince who's sending it could have done that himself.

Ooh, must go start a thread on how to use western union for money transfers.

A couple of thousand euros would just about pay for morning coffee for you and your maiden aunt in Center Craps, I'd have you know!
