If anyone takes the trouble to read the financial press they will be aware that the Euro concept has been under strain between its members for at least two years. Until the various countries are working to a similar economic pattern there will always be a problem as some countries need to put interest rates up to combat inflationary pressures while others want to put theirs down because of flagging productivity etc but they are all stuck with the same interest rate over which they have no control.

Right now there is a belief that the Euro zone will be under a serious threat of falling apart over the next few years because of this problem. Compare the situation in Italy, Spain, Ireland and Germany just for starters and the problem becomes obviooux. At least UK has been able to take unulateral action on interest rates to attempt to combat its problems. Give the situation a few hundred years for the countries economies, working practices and attitudes to come together and the Euro begins to make sense.

Until then, keep the UK independent of the Euro. The occasional hiccup on currency excahnge for the once or twice a year traveller is a price well worth paying

RRichie,get lost,you plonker! You ARE a twat!

Aidan.

Thats rich coming from you, glad to see you are back to your foul mouthed self.

That's rubbish!

This is the best I've worked him up to so far: -

Cyprusgrump,you don't have to tell us that you're as thick as 2 planks! We all know what a twat,a plonker,a puller,a tosser,& a wanker you really are!

Aidan.

Quite proud of that one!

His nurses obviously play a delicate balancing act with the medication – comatose one day and apoplectic the next with the occasional intelligent comment between!

I never realised Aiden was so quick

Where are you my foul mouthed mate, happy St Patricks day.

Big day for him. He’ll be celebrating with a few pints of the black stuff and some strong sedatives I expect…

[cyprusgrump]

You can see the scene in ‘The Shamrock’…

Two pints of Guinness for me and my imaginary friend and half a dozen Mogadon please barman! Oh, and can you loosen the straps on my sleeve so I can lift my arm up please?

He must have overdosed with Guiness and medication, hope he can get it up for the blow up doll.

RRichie,you're just being a major league tosser,plonker,& wanker!

Aidan.

WOW a tosser, plonker and wanker thats really good. Aiden remember one space after a comma and two after a full stop. Did you have a good time on St Patricks night.

[BC Numismatics]

RRichie,why would I want to celebrate St. Patrick's Day? I'm of Scots descent,not Irish! St. Patrick is commonly recognised as being the first Protestant,as he was protesting against Rome,as he was a member of the early Celtic Church,not the Romish cult.

The EURO is the strongest and most stable currency in the world today. It will continue to be the strongest and safest currency. Both the Dollar and Sterling are facing extremely harsh conditions at present.
Those that oppose the introduction of the EURO in the UK do so predominantly for one and only reason , their mistaken belief that switching to the EURO means the loss of British sovereignty , they should wake up and realise that British sovereignty DOES NOT EXIST any more , it has long been lost to the the third world !!
Which FT , incidentally mentions that the EURO is under strain !!
Perhaps you mean the FT pages of the Sun ??
