    The Euro - an interesting analysis

    Euro interesting analysis

    I think this article outlines nicely the pros and cons of the Euro.

    Makes a nice change from "flying around in Spitfires defending the UK" as quite a few UK commentators like to do.
    I'm alright Jack

      Since we import all our fuel, clothing, hi-tech goods, most of our food, raw materials, can you please explain how having a worthless currency makes us better served to recover?

        Surely the best time to join the Euro would be when the pound is strong?

            Huh? When did that start happening then?

              So that article says:

              1. The Euro is more stable in a storm
              2. its stops the weaker economies devaluing as they'd like to do.

              Next you'll be telling us the Pope is a catholic and that bears tulip in the woods.
              Hard Brexit now!

                I didn’t really find the analysis ‘interesting’ enough to read more than a few lines. Do you mean ‘interesting’ in the Steve ‘interesting’ Davis sense of the word?

                  You have to remember that for people who adore the euro anything that puts a positive spin on it is, by definition, interesting.

                    I have got used to the euro. It’s just there, a fact of life, and I really don’t give a stuff about it, as long as I have enough of them.
