Dear Paul,

What relevant item in this world can you buy, if you're not going Euro????

Oh, and the Euro stands for EUROpa, a continent, to which the Uk
belongs.....according to my textbooks on the subject. Or is continental
drift increasing the isolation of your green and pleasant country? That
would be a pity. But I guess we must defer this discussion to
EURO-L............

Cheers and start saving those Sterlings......they'll soon be rare.....
Wilbert
