edit: The Panzerhaubitze 2000 I think, and it has a maximum range of 60 Km. So you might not even have to be _in_ Afghanistan to clobber hordes of Taleban!Last edited by OwlHoot; 15 February 2012, 18:29.

Which, I guess, in many respects you are.

Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostSo your quid pro quo, as it were, is that you'd accept the UK's demands in defence of The City if the UK accepted Germany selling firearms here.
In this case it does not matter because money isn't a product and regulated differently - UK can stay out of eurozone and pretend UK transaction tax (AKA stamp duty) isn't used on financial trades, however it can't really tell ECB where to clear funds when it's not member of the eurozone in the first place. ECB rules only concern members of the eurozone - they can't make UK accept 500 euros in retail and equally UK should have no say in how euro currency works.
