Euro

[Spud]

A week to save the Euro, should it go or should it stay cheers Spud

It should be a keeper, but getting rid of the clowns that let this sort of thing happen is probably harder.....

[Chris Canning]

It was was and is a bad idea,but it's too late to turn back.

i kindof miss shopping with 5 different currencies in my wallet when serving at the German / Dutch border before the (Berlin) wall came down :lol:

I never could see how it was going to work with such a diverse array of economies and certainly couldn't see how it would work for countries that rely on tourism.

They must abandon the Euro or form the European United Nations, that will be the end of democracy as we know it.

[Nick Calne]

Europe and the Euro are never going work until some of the Med countries and France take the reality pill and do the political / economic work they should have done years ago.

Don't expect a happy outcome...

Me mate in Dublin owes me for some bike parts, hoping to get paid before his money is useless

Glad I bailed and moved stateside.

How perceptive!!! they've always had a inkling to rule Europe two attempts with the gun failed so this is another angle.

You lot are all daft. I was for joining the Euro when it started, I will give you just two reasons.

One, you don't get shafted by the bank for changing your cash for a holiday, it's all the same, spends just the same.

Two, all this bullshit about this raw material or item being bought in Euros means we can't have it at that price because it cost to convert it to pounds.

Yes I know it's a simplistic way of looking at things but hey I'm a simple guy, what winds me up is the way you get ripped of for having a pound in your pocket

Hmm, looks like France has capitulated(again) even before an invasions mentioned
We realy should have taken notice of De Gaule(? spell)he didnt want us in, probably looking after our best interests?

[oxnsox]

You Pound types should really have been part of the Euro...

Seriously.   With the stance your PM has taken now you're more out in the cold, and with only you own currency to stand on. And I think if you look deep enough you'll find your pockets aren't as greatly deep as you may think.

But the German Angel won't let you sink, they owe you that at least.....

Can't see my english mates praying for a german angel unless it's to stick her on the top of the xmas tree and see how far she can sit on it. :lol:


Seriously tho , the germans for a lot of years in the EC have been trying to get other members to follow their stringent laws because they are convinced their right.
Now where did I hear that before.
How about they get lost lost and leave the lads to fish and chips and beer and  bike rallies and stick their ridiculous regulations up their collective tuetonic arses
