BBC using British pounds over US Dollars
 

Is it just me or has the BBC stated anouncing money in British Pounds
instead of US dollars? Is this related to the dollars decline? I
don't know the conversion factor of Pound Sterling to Canadia dollars
off the top of my head but I do know that 1 US dollar equals 0.83
Canadian dollars.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mike

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.

MAT,

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"

Do you see "Europe" anywhere in the post? Third world is exactly
what I meant. Since you just want to argue you can argue with yourself.
