The euro appears to have been evidence of what I thought I already knew, that economists are a bunch of bloody idiots. Whatever the EU objectives are, apart from the migrant issue the one thing that will ultimately tear the EU limb from limb is the euro, which would be ironic. Anyway, never mind. I still have a thousand euros on my prepay card that I bought at €1.40 for a quid. Cheap Prosecco on me hols next year!
