Personally I can't afford the Euro. If the French have had to cope with 17% inflation - in twelve months; and the Irish have had their currency devalued by 30% in 7 years, how can it possibly be a good thing? Unless you are somebody with more money than sense.

We in the UK would have had to deal with inflation of 13%; ie paying 70p for something that at the close of trading in December was only worth 60.99p.

Ever been had?
