It"s such an awful,soul-less name --"Euro" ! Nobody wanted it in the first place. The Dutch were happy with their Guilders, the Germans were very reluctant to lose their Marks ( I was living there just before the change-over ) & the French hate everything anyway !! I mean, has anyone come up with a slang word for it,as in "buck",or "quid " ?? Probably not !! Keep the Pound ,I say,& lose Europe & the EEC as soon as possible . Vivat Regina !!
