Funny really what all the fuss is about. When most of the ancestors of today's "English" came from Europe as invaders in the first place. Even the very word "English" denotes the early Germanic settlers of Britain (Angles, Saxons and Jutes) (OE dictionary). Not forgetting of course George the German who replaced Queen Anne in the 18th century. All the hoo-hah about "save the pound" is a load of Tory bollocks. I don't give a damn what currency I get paid in as long as it buys me the simple needs of life. Pity we still don't use the original meaning of "Tory." As a kid in Ireland we referred to pine cones as "Tory Tops."
