Interesting bit is that a member I know in another group was able to buy Indian rupees from a UK airport using a forex service ( obviously at a poor exchange rate )

I didnt know that this was possible and wonder if things have changed..
I have previously heard of people doing this using a grey market service online or from shops in areas in UK with a large Indian population.

The being able to exchange GBP into rupees at a UK airport is news to me .
