And if you've just flown in from foreign parts?


Like me, they've exchanged for cash before they leave. What's so hard
about that? Even the Post Office will do it these days!


It depends on what country you have just flown from/to. Anyway, mostly
machines are cheaper, even than the PO.


I'm finding it difficult to think of a single country where you can fly to a
second country, but can't obtain that second country's money until you get
there, and where US dollars cannot be used in lieu.

Anyway, if people wish to save themselves 60 pence of markup by not buying
currency until they arrive, then they shouldn't moan if they can't actually
get it when they arrive. After all, they've saved themselves 60p!
