Ah yes. (Plural of Euro is Euro by the way). Most of the EU countries have joined it, including Eire. But the United Kingdom has kept out of it so far. Some believe we should join it, some believe we shouldn't. The main advantage of the Euro is you can instantly see how much more expensive things are in some countries than others, that and that you'll never have to pay commission on getting foreign currency within the countries that use it. 1 Euro is approximately equivalent to 1 US Dollar, and there are 100 cents in a Euro so you should have no problem following that.
I think that one of the things that makes a country unique is its currency. I think the UK should keep its own currency. It reminds me of what someone once told me. It is better to be unique than to follow the crowd like a sheep in a herd.
We can keep our identity without our currency. We still have Curry and Kebabs, English Breakfast, 3 pinned plugs, Driving on the correct side of the road, Rugby, Cricket and QPR. As long as I can eat a cooked breakfast I don't care whether it costs £3.99 or 6 Euro.
You can ship your car ya know. I would buy a new one when I got there with the money I make from selling my old car and money from my job.
To chip in....you may be suprised at how much smaller the majority of cars are here, all the cars in America are huuuge!! (although those damn 'people carriers' do seem to be taking over) and how much uglier (but far more practical) our number plates are. And even though you don't drink, you'll still have to frequent the pubs from time to time.
Just as well really, as there's never anywhere to park! Yes, you must "frequent the pubs from time to time" ??? You must frequent the pubs? or You must visit the pubs from time to time? How can you visit something frequently from time to time? Oh well. You must be in the pubs 3 nights a week anyway, this is what you will soon discover once you've tasted traditional english beer!
Oh forgive me your royal english language highness, for making a mistake at something past 2 in the morning. I'll just keep my evidently stupid mouth shut from now on.
Don't apologise to me, apologise to the poor yank whom you probably confused out of their tiny little mind (it's not hard I know).
Yeah I have a Honda Accord and it is huge, well compared to a Mini Cooper anyways. I'll go to pubs of course, I just won't drink.
Yes, I am sooo confused. Me and my poor tiny little yankee mind. (I'm being sarcastic if you can't tell.) Peace
Wow, you're picking things up pretty quickly, now! Except we call it Irony. Sarcasm is just saying the opposite of what you mean.
