    I went to Hungary a few weeks ago - bought some Forints at HRX at 262Ft to the £. It was cheaper to buy fuel in the UK with that sterling than it was in Hungary. (normally 370Ft to 420Ft peak)

    Now that was scary...
    Yeah right, give control of our economy to the European Central Bank. After all the ECB has done wonders for the Italians, Spanish, Irish.........

      Set up by ourselves.

      The Aussies and Canucks make their own Laws, control their own Borders and set their own Foreign policy. And all with smaller populatiions and GDP than the UK.

      Why can't we be more like them?
      NAFTA? NAU and Amero to follow.

      Oz no doubt has a free trade agreement or 2.

        Time to accept the inevitable and apply humbly to be admitted into the all-conquering Chinese Co-Prosperity Sphere. These guys have a work ethic. We don't. Ergo they win. Best go in voluntarily on our own terms rather than wait unti lthey own us.
