Should Britian join the euro?

[Metric1]

well done proving americans are clever.

Well done trying to be clever, but I'm not American!

[Clowgon]

Dude, don't you know who i am and what i'm capable of?

Nope. I don't know who you are and what your capable of.

[luce]

We should have joined it when the pound to euro was £1.40 because everything would have been so much higher but now we are all going to fail miserably.

[Geraint]

I'd go into a massive thing on why we shouldn't switch to the Euro but I'd just confuse myself.

[alexxxxx]

i think one of the reasons for not switching would be that the pound/euro exchange rate is not exactly £1 to €1

That would be a reason NOT to take the euro.

[The Cullens]

If we did join I wouldn't buy anything.

[scottish]

That would be a reason NOT to take the euro.

i think one of the reasons for not switching would be that the pound/euro exchange rate is not exactly £1 to €1

isnt that exactly what he said?

[AlexOC]

Ewww i dont want another curency, It would be wierd.

We would need to make new slang names, like we have 'quid', but euro notes are pretty and colorful

[alexxxxx]

isnt that exactly what he said?

no, what i meant that Parity would be disastrous if we joined the euro. Billions of pounds would be lost in value and we'd be the poor man in europe.

and if you really think that staying with the pound for 'cultural' reasons as the only reason, then you need to get your priorities right imo.

I personally don't think any of us are knowlegable about macroeconomics and stuff to really have a decent debate about this.

[scottish]

yh but you said to him

'thats a reason NOT to switch'

when he said

'i think the reason NOT to switch is because..'

so i dnt get it :S
