UK closer to joining the euro

[financeguy]

(My understanding of monetary policy is the same as my understanding of the language spoken on Venus.) So, for a single country to restore its old currency, all the signatories to the treaty would have to agree?

I think so. At least that is my reading of it.

once you're in, you'll never be able to get out.

it's a lot like riding the muss bus.

 

[Kieran McConville]

[Zoomerang96]

The Euro is for countries who dont have enough great people to put on their notes

So, here we are.

UK still not in eurozone, and rapidly progressing out of recession.

Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Greece - still fecked.

And everyone thought the UK were just being stubborn not wanting to join! We saw the future for the €

It has gone exactly as I thought! The strong countries getting richer and the weak countries being propped up/bailed out by the stronger countries, who end up resenting it, as they can't have their second car/home.

As a travelller it is handy, you don't come home with loads of seperate currency, but that is the only plus I can see.

I hope we NEVER join!
