Pound to the Euro

[David Hyde]

Living in the Eurozone and being paid in sterling causes no end of problems. When hte rate is good the cost of living is affordable but then the pound slides against he euro and the amount of money you get is reduced.

It really is about time that Britain joined in and stopped this farce.

Yea, the way things are going, who knows where the dollar will be soon?

The dollar is going to be in the dog house soon. In the past few months we have printed nearly 9 trillion dollars to just throw to the wind.. That is more than the USA has spent on EVERY SINGLE WAR up until (and including) Afghanistan. The dollar is being destroyed intentionally, so that we feel like Mr. Hyde and start begging for an Amero currency.

Yes, it would make a lot of sense for the UK to join the Euro. I suppose it eventually will. It must be hitting them on international trade. Most of the companies there, who are trading internationally, are having to give quotes in Euro anyway.

Hello,
UK will have to join to the Eurozone at some point. Euro has become a widely accepted currency for international trade. Many countries has started replacing USD with Euro in their national reserves. This is the main reason why USD is becoming weaker and weaker. GBP cannot stay strong by itself. The value of the currency is not only related to the production, it is highly dependent of the acceptance by other countries as a trade currency.
