Well I got my dollars, not as many as I would like obviously, but here they are. A colleague at work told me that he'd got an excellent exchange rate at a place in town so off I went. It was one of those "cheques cashed" get a loan on your wages type of place. However the rate was better than anywhere else I could find, but I did feel a bit awkward waiting in there, as there is a bit of a stigma associated with those types of establishment, I may not have any money, but I have no debt (apart from my mortgage of course).This has got to rate as my dullest blog entry ever!

I'd never even thought about those places for currency exchanges.
Years ago when on holiday in Thailand, my husband was delighted to find that the best exchange rate for cashing travllers cheques were in the "live sex on stage" bars in the Patpong ...was a bit dubious but they were actually quite safe and v educational places ... and they gave you a hell of a good rate !
