BILL HP,

Now let me see the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) in the
BBC's programming to the British People is using the British
Pound (their national currency) as their Standard for stating
Financial Maters. This sounds rather consistant and quite
normal to me and Very British !


The implication is that since they have accepted the "Euro" dollar
that they should abandon their old currency.

They are a member of the EU, but they opted out of converting to the
euro, and still use the pound.

If I was ever able to go back to work I would accept pay in almost
any currency. BTW, in the US direct deposit is becoming the normal way
to be paid so the last three years I was able to work I didn't even see
a paycheck. Now, my heath is so bad I can't work and I really miss
building custom radios.

I realize this but they still have to deal with their neighboring
european countries in "Euro" and often quote parts sources and prices in
"Euro" as well.

They do a lot of trade with other countries who DO use the Euro.

Normal where? few places that I have worked even had the option and in the
ones that did, few people used it.

So do we (US). Does that mean that we have actually switched to the EURO?

My last job gave two options direct deposit, or look for a new job.
Social Security along with most pensions and large corporations are
converting to direct deposit to cut costs and to try to eliminate lost
checks. If it hasn't got to you yet you work for a small company or
they haven't outsourced their payroll department yet.

Why should we? Even though there are countries who insist on payment
in Euro they don't mind receiving aid in US dollars.

It may be a foolish assumption on my behalf but it seemed to me that
most places have gone to direct deposit. All the banks advertise it and
it saves time and money. Who would not want it?

Been many years since I have had to deposit a regular paycheck.

Most haven't. Banks advertise it because they would like it that way. Last
time I had it was 19 years ago, in the army. Only reason then was to avoid
the 75 man line.
