Based on Alpha Bank exchange rates, these are widely used by exchange agencies in Greece.
Other banks likely to offer a different rate which may be marginally higher or lower.

You may get a better rate changing your holiday money in advance at e.g the

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.

Lancashire Police to investigate footage of cat being thrown off cliff

Police say they will investigate viral social media footage showing a cat being thrown into a quarry.

The footage shows a youth standing at the side of a large cliff holding a black and white cat in his right hand. The animal does not appear to be moving before it is thrown into the water below.

In an earlier update posted on the Lancaster Area Police Facebook page, a spokesperson said the force believed the video - happened "some time ago" and that the cat "was already dead at the time of the incident".

The post went on to say that the force is satisfied that no criminal offence has been committed.

In a newer update, Lancashire Police said: "We can confirm, having reviewed the footage and conducted further enquiries, an investigation is underway and we will be speaking to a man in due course in connection with animal cruelty offences.
