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 (https://www.postoffice.co.uk/travel-money).
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.

Burglars 'break back in' to return urn filled with ashes stolen from Northamptonshire home
Burglars who stole a funeral urn from a family home have broken back in to return it, nearly two weeks after the theft.
The urn, which contained a woman's ashes, was stolen from the home in Northamptonshire on 28 October by two people.
But on Monday, the stolen urn was returned to the home in Wicken - though not the other items, which included jewellery, building materials and tools.

Microsoft Edge is testing a new video translation feature
Microsoft Edge's latest Canary update has an innovative feature: video translation.
Users have noticed a new "Translate" button that becomes visible when hovering over a video. However, now, clicking on this button does not trigger any action.
This upcoming feature in Edge is expected to support translation in four languages. There is a dropdown menu for language selection (English, French, Spanish, and Russian), although the actual translation functionality appears to be in development and does not work yet.
