Pound V Euro, by Daniel Silk on Dec 11, 2008 17:44:12 GMT 1, Should the UK stick with the POUND, or change to the EURO?

Pound in another record euro low
The British pound has continued its sharp decline against the euro, reaching a new record low of 1.1238 euros on Thursday.
It is at the lowest level since the euro was launched in 1999.
Meanwhile, the pound gained one cent against the US dollar, reaching $1.4924 in afternoon trading.
The dollar also fell against other currencies, hitting the lowest level against the euro and the Japanese yen for the past six weeks.
Sterling was pushed lower after figures from the Confederation of British Industry confirmed a sharp downward trend in manufacturing.
The UK currency is expected to remain under broad selling pressure amid a grim outlook for the British economy.

Pound V Euro, by Deleted on Jun 20, 2016 14:38:41 GMT 1, The Euro is a fake currency and originally was a two tier currency. Euro for north Europe and Euro for southern europe of different values.
The Euro should be banned across europe.
Who controls the currency dictates the law and all that.
