Eddie George, the man who continues to bring you an over valued pound and a LACK of competitive business advantage said of joining the Euro that
"It really is too soon to say whether all the participating countries will be able to exist comfortably within this single monetary policy framework or whether there will be tensions".

Of course there will be tensions, mostly in the currency dealers who will be out of a job, whilst REAL businesses that perform REAL trade will thrive. Also Eddie, your job may be up in the air too!
