            Why do I keep thinking that Gordan Brown has been planning this all along so as to give him an excuse to join the Euro? After all didn't he say all those years ago that Britain wouldn't enter the Eurozone "until the time was right."

              Maybe because he is a lying, scheming, egotistical, self centered git?

              Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

                Iceland - already stuffed
                Ireland
                Italy

                and - yep UK.

                  Don't worry GB has a plan. They're just trying to get to parity £ = E. Fix it at this point and it will simple to join Euro, prices won't need converting and no-one will notice. We can even go on using our currency notes and coins and they will be spendable in the EU also.

                    What on earth makes people imagine that the exchange rate will stop at parity?
