Introduction of the Euro



In order to meet the conditions for joining the single European currency, all citizens of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland must be made aware that the phrase "Spending a penny" is not to be used after 31st December 2001.

From this date the correct terminology will be "Euronating".

Thank you for your attention.
