Buying Sterling
Apologies if this is a daft question but I need some sterling. Never having done so before can anyone tell me the best way to buy some sterling cash with euros please? UK airport exchange rate is poor to say the least.

A bit late in the day, but I have found OK rates for cash from Travelex - if you buy online and pick up from one of their airport locations/agencies. A lot worse, still, than cashless transfers, but not too bad. I used to get wonderful rates for USD, 15 years ago, from a foreign exchange booth near Covent Garden Market: they were getting so much traffic the other way that they would almost pay you to take their dollars away, so I suppose that you could go where Brits change their money the other way. Collioure? God knows?
