Don't hold your breath, the Euro may not happen for a while. There's
still a lot of controversy over it, the UK has said it won't adopt it in
the immediate future.
Personally, I think it's a good idea, but instead of calling a common
currency the Euro,which is incredibly naff, each country should retain
it's own name - Pound, Franc, Mark, etc., but the coins and notes would
be the same value and size. Still, that's far too sensible for the
Eurocrats, eh? ;-)
Hey, a United Europe would be the most powerful nation on earth. That'll
worry the Yanks! :-) (ohh, I'm really going for the flames today!)
