Disgruntled tourist holds on to his cash

COLIN Grant, from Glasgow, went on holiday to Spain in the summer.

Before leaving, he’d purchased enough euros to see him and his family through the trip.

However, when he came back he still had 300 left over.

While shopping in Sainsbury’s last week he decided to pop into its Bureau de Change to convert the spare cash back to sterling.

However, he was so angered by the rate he was offered that he decided just to hold on to the cash.

Colin said: “What they were offering was far lower than I expected.

“The pound is so weak now you should be getting a better deal.

“There will be millions of people looking to sell their unused holiday money and some of the rates going are terrible.”

A spokesperson from Sainsbury’s Travel Money said: “We offer competitive rates on currency purchase and buy-backs.”
