Other banks likely to offer a different rate which may be marginally higher or lower.
Banks and foreign exchange offices normally charge standard 2% commission.
You may get a better rate changing your holiday money in advance at e.g the Post Office.
NB: some f-ex agencies advertise "No Commission".
Invariably, they deduct commission before they (don't) advertise the rate.
Foreign exchange offices are businesses, not charities.

--- Quote ---Flybe: Regional carrier ceases trading and cancels all flights

Airline Flybe has cancelled all flights to and from the UK after going into administration.

A statement on the airline's website said it had "ceased trading" and told any passengers expecting to travel with it not to go to the airport.

About 2,500 passengers were due to fly with Flybe on Saturday, with about 75,000 passengers in total having flights cancelled.

Flybe said it would not be able to help passengers arrange alternative flights.

--- Quote ---More bee-killing poisons? Why?

For the third year in a row, the UK Government has approved the use of the banned neonicotinoid by English farmers on sugar beet crops.

For the third year in a row, this decision goes against the advice of two of the Governments own expert groups; the Expert Committee on Pesticides and the Health and Safety Executive. Both have consistently advised that the emergency use of this pesticide should not be allowed.

Evidence shows that a single teaspoon of neonicotinoid is enough to deliver a lethal dose to 1.25 billion bees.
