"The dawn of a new error" was the Sun's (British Tabloid newspaper) comment on the coming of the Euro. I'm sure the Sun asked many an objective economist from various countries and then made a considered opinion, but then again they probably just thought fuck it, anything "European" must be bad. (Mini piss me off point #1: English people saying "in Europe they do things differently" or "Over in Europe..." - just in case you forgot, one fact that can never be changed is that the UK is in "Europe" if only geographically)
My favourite comment was "we'll lose our national Identity with the Euro". Well I've had Euros in my pocket for the last couple of years and strangely enough I still feel very Irish. Come on England wake up, just cos you pay 3.50 Euro instead of 2.50 Pounds for your fish 'n chips, you are not going lose your national identity. Or do you really need to see the queen every time you buy a
pint??
