It's *so* great to be able to go to any country in Europe and spend the same money and know what I'm getting for it. When I'm in England, I spend what I think is 50 euro, an ok kind of a price for a nice T-shirt, say, and discover that I'm turning my pockets out!
That "Any country in Europe" is a bit inaccurate, 13 Countries have the Euro as their official currency. Definitely not just Britain holding out. Also frquent news stories about 'Euro' countries who wish they still had their old currencies. We're better off out of it!
