OK, stupido me, hahaheehee. I know the Euro is only a currency. I am Canadian, (in this post a silly Canuck). We still have the Queen plastered on everything, stamps for instance and pictures of her in most government buildings in BC. Although that is slowly changing. The UK at one time had a lot of colonies so that is why I think of it being some sort of British Empire. I have probably stuck my foot further in my mouth as I am winging it here, like zippo on researching the topic (always best) because I didn't feel like sitting at my computer.

The best part though is all you Limeys' and Europeans which I adore had a great laugh and I also killed myself laughing at all your comments. It was the best laugh of my day as well.
