Get mine from either the hole in the wall or the missus.
In fact there is only one place which is officially allowed to sell Euros and that's the EZB (or ECB to people not in the Euro.) They make 'em, they sell 'em.

Nationwide always give very good exchange rates when using your Debit card from ATMs abroad, and no fee within Euroland. I went to Turkey last week which is outsie of Europe and they are suppsed to be charging a £1.50 fee for FX but didn't do it there either.
WHS.... Nationwide Debit or Credit cards are always the best value, and of course safer than carrying wads of cash. I also tend to load the credit card with sterling before I go abroad to save on daily interest for cash withdrawn.
