??? That's not what I was told by several people I correspond with in
England told me.


My wallet has Pound notes and my back pocket has 50p, 20p coins etc in
it.

We are due to have a referendum sometime on it.

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.


That's true. It's no problem, really.

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

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


Um..could you tell me which Euro-using country receives US dollar aid,
please?

You can choose from:

France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg,
Liechtenstein, Denmark.

Yo Michael...the Marshall Plan successfully reinvigorated europe after
WWII. However it has been decades since that project was declared
successful and closed. Which Euro based countries are now receiving
aid and under which plan are they receiving it.

I'm not arguing with you, but a number of people from the UK that
post on the electronics newsgroups quote prices in Euro more than ponds.

I'm talking about smaller countries who claim that they don't want to
deal for US dollars for raw materials, but gladly accept aid in US
dollars. I have seen several news articales over the past year but I
didn't scan them to text so I can't quote them for you.

You carry your coins in your back pockets? That is weird.Most normal
guys like me over here carry their coins in their front pants pockets
and their wallets in their back pockets like I do.I never go out with
any coins in my pockets,whatever coins I wind up with when I get back
home,I throw then in a canvas bag I have here.I hate to carry junk
around with me.But then,y'all are weird anyway with your toilets by the
front doors of your homes.(somebody knocking at the front
door,knock,knock,knock,farrrrtttttttt!!!!) My toilet is in the back part
of inside of my house where all normal houses have the toilets.Right
now,on the weekends and when the banks are closed at the end of the day
on Mondays through Fridays,the banks are wheeling and dealing all over
the World with our money. cuhulin

If I put my wallet into my back pocket it makes a lump which is awkward
to sit on.

I've never seen one placed there.

The only smaller countries in Europe that I can think of are Monaco and
Andorra.

I don't think that any Euro-using countries get US aid.

Mike


Think: "Third world"
