I don't think it was intended to make sense, it was said to bother you, which it did :laugh:

That's because your a fucking moron.

why are you so mean :conf:

People in glass houses shouldnt throw stones Stu

OMFG I just found out Stephen Baldwin is Related to that guy from Cat in the Hat.

Of topic, just found it out though and got excited..

LOL @ this thread

Right, I'm going to take this topic on an economic level because it's what I do best (you bitches will be glad when I win the Nobel Prize in Economics :hugesmile:).

So, UK has pretty much been in Europe since the beginning (1973 which is about 20 years after the creation of Europe but still is considered as one of the first countries) so the fact it must belong to the US is out of question.
Furthermore, on an economic aspect, the fact UK doesn't have the same currency isn't a problem in itself as London is the first business place in Europe ahead from Paris, Milan and Frankfurt even though it's the 3rd ranked country in Europe (first is Germany, second is France) so on this aspect, the UK is not depending on the US.
Have you ever heard from the Blue Banana from Liverpool to Milan ? It's the economic heart of Europe, it's where it goes down to. It covers one of the world's highest concentrations of people, money, and industry. It speaks for itself.

I'm talking business and economic facts here. You may not agree but that's not a matter of opinion as it's been proved over and over again that the UK is fully part of Europe, no matter the currency differences. Let's take the Economic crisis as an example: Brown, Sarkozy and Merkel agreed to lead on the same economic policy to get Europe out of its mess so it's a sign UK is Europe.

And this topic is non sense anyway because even on other aspects (social, historic, cultural, ...) it's not the US.

That's it, feel free to comment on that but it's on your behalf, you don't want to challenge my economic skills. :tongue:

Wrong
to be in Europe Proper
you must have there money.


And We do not.

Seriously is stupid how the UK doesnt use the Euro.

REP of Ireland does when I go down there its weird using it, but obviously because im in NI I have to use the stupid Pound.

Tbf it is easier, and I would be confussed if we switched to Euro as I have grown up using the Pound but I would rather the UK just used the Euro like everyone else.

Like I said, I'm not talking about cultural differences with other European countries or as to why some European laws cannot be done but on an economic side, it is part of Europe and the fact UK will never change its currency isn't a big deal anymore.
I'm not a pro-Euro either but my opinion doesn't get into the equation this time, the UK will always belong to Europe on every aspect you might like. It is what it is. Fair enough it doesn't have the same currency, but so doesn't Sweden, Denmark, Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, Estonia or Bulgaria. :thumbs:

we've used the pound for centuries, why should we change now?

Keep the pound.

1971 actually

I just hate the design lol

I like how it works, its very easy to use and that, The only 2 reasons I think it could change is because I hate the look of it, but thats not the big deal but just because every other country in Europe uses Euro so I was thinking its a little odd we use the Pound you know?

Read my latest post in this thread. :thumbs: UK isn't the only country not using €uro.

Pat
The Pound Ain't Stupid.

Your €uro will have to fund Bankrupt Greece
who are in your Europe.

We are Forever.

exactly, eastern europe pulls the whole of europe down

yes Remy was making a few good points but he was only look at the west

Greece is another problem which has been complicated to solve and still is being solved today.
As for Eastern European countries, I'm not especially for them to enter the Europe but what's done is done and it has been the policy of the European Government. Eastern countries don't necessarily take Europe down because they've been helping in a few things such as production and new markets to explore even though it's the rule of "Whoever is richer pays for the poorest" which has taken the lead.
And to be honest, UK has been more of a disaster than Poland and Czech Republic combined which both countries have done quite well. UK and Spain are Europe's biggest disasters due to the Economic crisis.

No, that was when decimilization was brought in

You have been schooled, again, biatch

nah they still changed it so your original statement is wrong :p

you had to just read up about it anyways so you fail

you had to just read up about it anyways so you fail

why the **** am i posting two posts at once

I was right anyway, so I dont see your point, since the debate is about money and not wether or not I research what I say

Guys, you shouldn't be worried about UK not changing its currency. It's the day they will decide to change it that you must be worried about. :wink:

Pounds to Euros is simples

you have to be a ****** for it to give you a mind ****

First of all, unless something absolutely awful happens to the UK, the Euro will never be the official currency.
Secondly, bringing Europe wasn't that "simples". Yes it has for Easter European countries as it couldn't get any worse for them but for richer countries, it may not have been so good. Yes, it has increased Europe's strength on the International scene but prices have increased quite badly.

But then, it's out of context as the UK is one special context in itself. Like I said, the day UK will change its currency means it's not good, at all.

:laugh:

Agreed. And moved.

I would like American size portions in McDonalds, our ones are getting to be rip offs

In that case why not change to the Dollar.

Surely the question should be, "Should we integrate further with Europe or allow Johnny Yank to come snivelling back, like a well whipped bitch and become a county of the UK, or should we treat them as grown ups and let them have the same status as Scotland, a devolved government etc?"

This is one the thee most ridiculous threads I've seen here yet!

oh what a lovely world that be :)

kill a few hoodies and chavs

They'd never allow it. We don't have guns in every home and we're not anywhere close to being fat enough.

how dare you move my thread from the serious debate forum

I am seriously offended

how is this less serious than "Hypatia is dead" and "Should sugar be banned?" and "Pornography is addictive for the male brain"?

Reinstate it now

Uh...no

why not?

this is a very serious debate

Stu just came on a ruined it like the **** he is
