Not having to change currencies is convenient but at least in the UK you can get Credit Cards without charge for use overseas including cash withdrawl - http://www.halifax.co.uk/creditcards/clarity-card/ http://www.halifax.co.uk/creditcards/clarity-card/. Then when you travel you don't need to change currency, just head to the ATM or just use your card. You can't compare prices so easily, but then taxes are different even within the eurozone. Language is preventing me from watching Austrian TV and phoning into their radio debates. That is, the population of Europe is silo'd whilst their political masters are attempting to work together. This is fractured because the electorate that place these politicians into positions of power cannot unite together to challenge them. If there was a political union between the UK and Ireland then language wouldn't prevent me from calling an RTE show. We even already have a political party operating both in Westminster and Dublin - Sinn Féin.
