The Euro in effect will be used for business purposes and its an advantage for all holiday makers.You can compare prices directly of that with the homeland.
Jo is correct in a lot of ways.e.g.
Cigarrettes cost in England €7.50
here                                     €3.00
Petrol costs here 50 % less than the U.K.
Cars are about 15% cheaper on the continent when buying new.
However you do not get the deals that you get in the U.K.
All in all one would get a direct comparison on what the Government is fleecing the population of the U.K. on taxes.
Many if and buts on both sides but i believe it would be good for the British population overall
