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 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!
