EURO

Hello ASFC1951!
Sorry meant conservative, not Conservative - had nothing to do with the political party, I simply meant that we Brits are often unwilling to accept change, ie we are conservative, it's in our nature.
Please also don't think I meant you do not have an open mind, it wasn't a statement meant personally to you, or anyone, my point was just that sometimes people are closed minded and often do not get the true info they deserve.
Regarding giving up sovereignty, I do agree with you in part, just don't know if it's a totally bad thing, as we don't have that much sovereignty anyway, we are so much influenced by what the Americans decide (eg. war in Iraq).
I'm glad we can agree to disagree, that's also nice sometimes. Thanks for that chance - didn't want to keep on arguing the point, I'm afraid I'd bore everyone. Let's say there are fors and agiansts, and we agree to disagree, OK? :)
 
p.s. I'll keep hoping for Stanley in the UEFA, then I can finally see them on TV here in Italy. Perhaps I should add that one to the "what are your dreams" section!
 
Stuff the Euro. Lets bring back real money - Guineas, Bobs, Tanners, farthings and ther'punny bits. It will at least teach the kids how to think.

I do believe you are making eyes at me
 
I am back over in the UK at the moment, but the € has been a disaster in Spain. Prices rocketed, not only through traders exploiting the new currency, but with the overall economic slump brought on by the €. The germans haven't got jobs, so they can't holiday, and the ones that can, don't come to spain cos its too expensive. Lets not forget, that even taking German reunification into consideration, germany since the introduction of the € has gone from the most powerful economy in Europe into a slump. Fact.
 
Yeah. Agree with the argument about Spain - similar to situation in Italy, all of the "poorer" European nations have suffered from introduction of the Euro, especially on a personal, consumer level. Fact.
Germany however, is in a slump for MANY MANY different reasons than the Euro. (this is also a fact). If it didn't at least have the support of the European financial and fiscal structure via the Euro, it would most probably be in an even worse mess. (This is just my humble economic prediction, not a fact, but I could back it up if the point is of interest to you and you don't mind some boring economics jarble...)  maybe it's better though to discuss football or something more interesting? (At least I would prefer it that way!) :)

But tealeaf i have to do that now.My wage packet is that big Securicor meets me at the gate every month.

Aye right, i wish. :-*
 
Must admit that the big DOWNER of the Euro was thatt I used to earn millions (of lire) and now I only earn thousands (of Euro). Psychologically it seems I'm much poorer....
