The British are preparing themselves

Straight from BBC News :

-----------------------------
British firms told to prepare for euro

British businesses are to be encouraged to welcome the euro - whether they agree with it or not.
The British Chamber of Commerce (BCC) is preparing to launch a campaign to ensure its 135,000 members are ready for the single currency, as it believes a referendum on the issue is likely to be held within a year.

The BCC's Euro Fitness Guide is being unveiled on Monday and will include advice on pricing, services and how to review systems to make the transition to the euro a smooth one.

Hi Ron,

it will be not necessary, because the mint over there is even not lazy: Look at this thread:

Hi Sonja,

I know.
I have posted these pictures in this thread myself.
But beware, this nice set is not from the official Mint of England.

Macht nichts... Alte Threads sind lustig. Und wer weiss, der Euro kommt... (wie ein Zug...) auch täglich auf die Insel.

The U.K. will NEVER join the Eurozone,as they have an opt out,as does Denmark & Sweden.

As far as the UK is concerned - great. The country should definitely stay out of the currency union. And who knows, maybe it will even leave the EU, instead of constantly whining and griping but staying in ...

As for the two others, you are wrong. I am sure you have excellent reasons for "reviving" this topic (the last post was made three years ago), but the situation has not changed much since 2007: Denmark does indeed have that opt-out - otherwise they would not have agreed to the Maastricht Treaty which the introduction of the common currency was a part of. Sweden does "legally" not have that option - this map for example shows that quite nicely.

Then again, the European Union will always (well, at least for a very long time) consist of member states that have the euro, and others that do not have it. So it does not really make a big difference whether a country that is theoretically obliged to introduce the euro practically does it or not ...
