OK strugling for a decent question and also to book a holiday with the Euro exchange rate at such a dire rate.

It wa snot always like this however- what (approximately) was the £:€ rate when the Euro was adopted by the continentals back in 2002?

think it was about the same as the dollar so 1.75 to the pound?

It was actually 1.6 which meant that a £100 meal cost £62 rather than pretty much the £100 it costs now.

Anyway was a shit question and by default you are nearest so go for it Istenem.

NM straight in with a wrong answer.

nothing to do with terrorism although he did subsequently cause some consternation in the muslim community. but that would be a red herring.
