Phew!!

Well - was I lucky?  When we went on holiday to Lanzarote in May, I was put in charge of getting our foreign currency, and I used Crown Currency Exchange, and it all worked well and by ordering in advance I got a really good rate.  So I was upset to see that they had gone into administration. But the hairs really stood up on the back of my neck when I heard that they were known to be having problems as far back as February - so they were iffy when I was dealing with them.  And - I suspect like many other people - if I thought about it, I assumed that if anything did go wrong, I would be protected under some scheme of other.  To find that I wouldn't have been....  like I say, was I lucky?!
