Come to think of it, the 'almost europeans' have had to cope with a new
kind of money (still pounds and pence, but not pounds, shillings,
pence), and metrification. Lots of moans, but it hasn't caused the end
of the world.

The amount of FUD we get to hear about the Euro is astonishing. As if a
nation could lose it's identity because it changes the currency.
