        "funding for health and education is below average."

        "Only Ireland ...has lower public spending on essential services. "


        Our public services may or may not be good, but is it right to equate the amount spent with the quality of service?

                Rural Warwickshire's quite nice. Expensive, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

                    They could just average it out at 50 euros for anything, then save money on tricky calculations or small denomination notes.
