    Can anyone help me out a bit. I am going to Manchester city centre today to visit friends and is there any place I can get to change my Philippine pesos to gb pounds? I will be going around the arndale if that helps.

    There appears to be a Travelex in the Arndale centre, check this link.

    Ooh awesome. I hope they change pesos. I won't be needing these for atleast a couple of years so they gotta go.

    I expect they will, most places are happy to buy any currency but you are in the UK and they will give you a horrible rate, they are selling at 61.7 today but I would expect even worse than that if they are buying currency from you.

    You could try the post office as well, I just checked and they are offering a rate of 1 pound = 76.72 piso !!!!!

    Yes I must admit that I have never converted peso to pounds only pounds to peso, so my brain was not in gear earlier, 75 to the pound is a pretty awful rate :(

    I changed dollars into pounds yesterday and the best rate I could find was 1.76
    Really shameful.
