Of course balanced analyses, are always "boring" compared to the sort of junk some posters read, that gives them the impression that small European countries are all itching to leave the Euro. All this does is explain why they aren't.

Most North Sea Oil and Gas is sold to Europe as they pay mroe than domestic carriers, and then we import even mroe expensive Oil and gas from Europe/Russia!
It makes no sense whatsoever, but its reality.
And yes while we are a net importer of essential goods, food and fuel, a weak pound will make our recession worse.

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.

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

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.Tags: None
