Yeah, sure, about two DM to the Euro. 20 years, I meant, not 30. Betcha it doesn't mean the same in Yorkshire as in German, though: "Teuro" comes from Ger. "Teuer", expensive. (Cognate of Eng. "dear", as in "paid dearly".) Because wages halved, numerically, while many claimed prices were about the same in Euro after the change as they'd been in DM before it. Or, if not the same, still way above half, as they "should" have been for wage/price-parity to remain the same.
