Hi, most brits know that we’d hate to change our currency to the Euro and have protested it for many years.

But here’s a simple idea and I’m just wondering whether it would work.
Why don’t we just change to the Euro currency but call Euro’s in the UK english pounds. This currency would be the same as the Euro so it could be used in the EU.

All I can see is advantages, anybody see what could be wrong with this?
Thanks, Chris.
