A: Have you ever heard the news that the twelve countries of
European Union have accepted the euro as their currency? I do think this is a big process for the European Union. B: But I also heard that the Britain has decided not to accept the euro. The leader of UK said that UK won’t accept
the euro before the economy becomes better.
A: But he also said that it was mainly due to the cause that retail outlets in UK are short of money and don’t have extra currency to change in euro.
B: Mm… I don’t think this is a good excuse. If the retail outlets in a developing country such as UK are short of money, then other countries should be in the same situation. I do think there is another real important reason.
A: So, What is it?
B: Self-respect in their mind. The UK was once the overlord of the world and its currency –
Pound was also the world-currency in the past. But it loot its status since the world-War ?, so did
the status of pound. So if UK accept the euro, the pound would disappear and become the part of history.

B: Yeah, but in the fact, the UK is only some small island, in the sea nowadays.
