Well I'm about to go off to get me Lev's for Saturday, thought I better get a few as I dont fancy being without anything when I first arrive.Did a quick bit of checking around and currently M&S are doing the best rate it seems , and they had stock in my local M&S as well, its just goes to show what a bit of shopping around can do by going to M&S I gained an extra 50 lev's
not that I have ANY idea what 50 lev's will actully buy me out there mind you

re: Exchange rate
What rate did you get? I was being quoted everything from 2.5 to 2.8! I finally got them today from Lloyds at 2.81re: Exchange rate
50 levs is quite a difference, think you may have ended up with 50 of their pennies difference, unless you changed a couple of grand!I have always found M&S to be the best, I change £100 or so here then sort the rest from a cash machine over there if needed.
Have fun!
re: Exchange rate
I'm getting 2.831 at M&S once I can get out the door and stop reading the ruddy Forum LOLOn about £300 quid thats the difference of say 50levs if I compare it to something like Thomos Cook who where only giving me 2.64 ............or have I done something wrong with the calc ??? your scaring me now ????

re: Exchange rate
M & S have a rate of 2.831 lev to the pound at the moment and Travelex are doing the same rate. I've been told you can order from Travelex and pick it up at the airport when you fly?re: Exchange rate
On £300 you are right but you said you were only getting a few
re: Exchange rate
£300 is just a few isnt it ??? LOLThanks for re-checking it for us
So what can I spend my extra 50levs on then as I havent got a clue what 50levs would buy , could be one beer , could be 100 beers
for all I know ??ChrisBee
re: Exchange rate
1 beer - appx 3 levs, so you could have 17!Good meal out for 2 people with wine....
