    UK's own currency helped only one thing - maintain residential real estate bubble.

      Still I think UK will end up joining the euro at some future date. When bond rates start rocketing and QE is no longer, the pound will be parity with the euro, maybe even go below. Watch the pressure grow for joining the euro.

      Ironically I think it is growing more and more likely the rest of the EU will not allow the UK to join the euro.
      Stop tallking rubbish. You don't know what you are talking about, and your Germany-centric self-delusion is laughable.

      Germany would have the UK in the euro tomorrow to help with their burden. Luckily for us we aren't going to enter it any time soon, if ever.

        That's your imagination.

          The bubble is being deflated from the inside as the pound continues it's year on year slide against major currencies.

            It is interesting you think that. Most Germans I speak would now not want the UK with all it's debt to join the euro.

            Understand that if the pound crashed proper, and even went below parity, many EU countries would not want to bail out the UK.

              It is only relevant to rich people who want to live in London - for most Europeans UK property is totally overvalued even if it dropped 50% from current levels.

                  Wrong yet again.

                  Pound rises as UK growth outperforms Eurozone

                  I feel sorry for your German clients, you must be selling them a crock of tulip.
                  On the other hand sending our incompetents to undermine German industry is a sign of British genius

                      If that's the case, leave it. You don't have the mental apparatus to do complexity.
