I see the euro sadly as an inevitability, and I for one will be sorry to see the end of sterling. With any luck I'll be dead by then,hopefully pre-deceased by TB.
Why does it not seem to have occurred to the EU to balance the exchange rates for each currency till they become a fraction of 100. We could then print one side of a note with whatever we want, £,DM,FFR,or whatever, and the other side with the equivalent amount in euros. There you are, your own currency, European currency,and the ability to compare prices exactly all rolled into one. Plus less chance for the profiteers to artificially inflate prices.It would work for me!!
