You may wonder how the **** something like that can bring a feeling of national pride - but I might sit here and say how the **** can photons and accoustic waves coming from the tv excite/interest people? Why? HOW? Our brains are weird huh.

Are you actually british? If so I bet you want the monarchy to piss off as well?

If it is for certain that the £ is having a bad affect on the british economy, then yes - I would be all for getting rid of it. Sadly, that is all opinion atm though. Some experts say one thing, others say something else. Therefore, why get rid of it? Why are you and deepflow so hellbent to get rid of it?

edit: Reminds me of a conversation a while back with JC. He was saying how ditching the £ for the euro would almost certainly help his father out financially (or it would help the company he works for, and thus him). But despite that, even he (his father) would vote to keep the £.

The £ brings national pride to a lot of people, and it is british (not that many things atm are really british anymore ). You would say that is stupid - I would say you people care too much about money, and not what really matters.
