why would we want to join the euro when most of the mainland europe countries hate us? just look at the french blocking the channel and the spanish having airport strikes...
things would still be more expensive here anyway because of 'shipping costs'. ha they dont even exist with the amount of stuff you can shift these days.
they will probably give us a really bad exchange rate when we do join the euro (market anticipation and all that rubbish) so that we will be less well off than before. also would you like your money being controlled by the germans who dont have the cleanest record either like us...
also if we become more integrated with europe we'd have to put mufflers on bagpipes because they are too loud

and thats just stupid. (yes brussels or wherever it is did try to pass this law)
joining up with europe in my opinion would just de-value everything Britain has become known for and the fact that we already share alot with them has no meaning they still come and steal our fish from our waters and stuff...
im kinda against becoming one big family because then what would a country have apart from its geography to be unique? people have been mixed money is all the same the companies will eventually be the same... it would be kinda boring in 50 years time if 'europe' wasnt britain france germany netherlands sweden norway........ but just europe.
sorry if this is a bit long but its just a few of my feelings on this matter and they are kinda strong. i dont mean to offend people- just my opinion
plus whose language would we end up speaking? cos i dont understand any foreign babble
