I have checked while in Cambridge City Centre this morning, and there is no problem with getting lira, all the travel agents, Post Office, M&S, bureaux de change etc.  Probably have enough for my holiday in June but bought a couple of hundred pounds worth at a rate 3.468 at eurochange (eurochange.co.uk) who are offering a better rate if you buy 1000 lira.  They also e-mail you when the rate changes, charge no commission, and have a buy back option.  I understand they are a nationwide company, and it certainly the best rate around today in Cambridge.

Thanks for that echogirl1, hadn't realised we had a branch of them in our town but just checked them out. 

Think I'll keep an eye on their rate and maybe buy some lira early this year!

They also e-mail you when the rate changes,
Every hour, on the hour?

When the rate changes significantly, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit!!!

I was reflecting on the current rapid rate of change of the Lira. I am sorry you thought it sarcastic.

It doesn't pay to think.

I got mine today. The lady in the Post Office said they don't stock it in the winter as there's little call for it, but if you order it before 1pm they guarantee it's there for collection in 24 hours. Which I did.

"Mystery" solved.  ;D
