We are also an Island.

In some terms it would make sense, mainly business etc, but the great british public will get well stitched up. We would also have to pay for the conversion, and the Pound is what makes this country great...even though we all need more of it. So no, keep the pound.

All the more reason to join Cloggsy!!

UKIP have the right idea, no Euro coins, no Euro state. Leave us be, and we'll screw ourselves. At least we won't feel like we're being cheated when we do it!

no to the euro, saw the concequences when out in Germany. their costs went up a lot. Fuel now on par with ours.

Very bad idea in my eyes.

I think the best option for all involved is to start up the British Empire again, this time start with conquring Europe, and forcing them to have the pound!!

No. The pound has served us well for hundreds of years and I see no reason to change. Why do we need a weak currency and imported inflation? Noooooooo
