Should we adopt the Euro?
« on: 07 October 2009, 09:49:31 »
A cross-sectional survey of 1000 people in the UK, made up of Afghans, Pakistanis, Indians, Poles, Iraqis, Somalis, Africans, Albanians, Bosnians, Turks, Geordies, Brummies, Glaswegians and Liverpudlians were asked if they thought Britain should change its currency to the Euro.

99% said no, they were quite happy with the Giro.

Note, if the above causes offence then PM me and itwill eb removed (note, it is very tongue in cheek!)

Very good. :) :)

A euro will soon only be worth a pound so no doubt that will be when it is "adopted". At least people won't then be ripped off changing money back and forth to just visit another part of the EU!

It's quite sad when people are so shit scared of cracking a joke that they feel the need to follow it up with an apology.

As far as the actual question (topic title) goes, it doesn't matter what we think.
Simple truth is, until we (majority of the UK) grow some balls...then we will take whatever is thrust upon us.
