Tensions in "Pound" land

Will the pound survive, the tensions as parts of the UK seek to dump it.

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on

If we do join the Euro....what will happen to shops such as: -

PoundLand
Everything's a Pound
The Pound Shop

will they all have to change their names?

(Course you London sorts have probably never heard of these shops!)

If we did decide to join the Euro - how long would it take to manage the swap-over?

Just think of all those lovely contract jobs with business' who will need to update their systems.

They will have to sell goods in nearly the same way - one pound of stuff is one euro. Lots of such shops will be open in the bankrupt City - the new tourist attraction of the "not-so-nice" decade spanning from 2010 till the end of days
