Bloody euros.
They get on my nerves.
I went into town today and no joke, evrything was in pounds with a little tag on the back saying the amount in euros as well.
I CAN'T STAND THE ********!!!!!!!!!
HUH, horrible things.
Apologys for my rudeness but when it comes to � i get angry easily.
Anyway, should they be introduced into England, and if they were would you refuse to use them?

What book or work of art is that then ? Eurolisa ?
The Fighting Temereuro ? Or could it be A Christmas Euro or The Mysterious Affair of the Euro ?

I don't think there are any plans to introduce the Euro here just yet .The reason they have these Euro price tags is probably because the goods have been imported from countries which do have the Euro .
If we were to have the Euro there would be Jack all we could do about it .If you refused to use it then you wouldn't be able to buy anything would you ?
When decimal currency was introduced we coped and I daresay we would cope with the Euro after all most of Europe has .
Having said that I remember when they introduced decimal
currency we had a die hard chap in the town who ran an independent shop and he insisted on pricing everything in pounds shillings and pence for years afterwards !
He just made himself more work having to convert the prices all the time ....silly old fool .!

you're all het up already and nobody's even asked you to produce a euro yet? Just seeing the symbol makes you break out in hives? You definitely have the English disease.

Hysteria is sometimes symptomatic of a n�sis.

Brilliant, kempie!

Relax, wix, there's no chance that the euro will be introduced in UK. If a euro note is spent here it is good for only one transaction because change must, by law, be given in sterling. The euro note then goes into the retailer's bank, never to be seen in UK again.

Hi Wix
No such thing as "euros"

It is ten euro, not ten euros.

politely disagree, starmack. The standard English plural is to add an S; ten euros, same as ten pounds or ten dollars.

Why do they make you so angry?

It's just a currency - they'd probably even put the Queen on the British ones.

I don't think you have to worry though it's so far down the agenda these days you'd need a microscope to see it.

Mind you....

No more exchange rate rip offs and the EU interest base rate is a couple of percent lower than in the UK - that'd be nice for my mortgage!
