My dear beanie, will I be able to exchange some cash over at the airport? Yeah, I'm a detail person just like you. :p Already thinking about the dang details. :rolleyes: You'll sort that out for me won't ya? Tyvm. :)
Ruthie, just bring US dollars, I'll buy them off you as I'll be stateside next month and will need them :)

Since you're being picked up, you won't need to tip the driver, so should have time to get some cash.

Ruhtie you might get a bad exchange rate at the airport but you can be sure it'll still be better than Martin's - he's a beanie remember :p :D :D

Using oanda http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic today it'd be £54.22
We will both win as well use the market rate as opposed to the buy/sell rates and save on commission too :p

But the rates just takes having no commission into account ;)
I like using my Amex to get currency. OK the rates are like 0.01% worse, but I can do it from the comfort of my desk and it arrives special delivery. No need for me to leave the comfort of my office and interact with the general public :p :D :D

Current Dollar rate about £6, enough for two Diet Cokes and a Hotdog, now if you were going the other way, £100 exchanged for $$'s would buy you a brand new Cooper:D
