@jlargentaye @tilton One of the maniacal pitches of the pro-Brexit campaign was "we must protect our traditional currency from this vile dastardly scheme to replace it with the Euro!" Dude, the "traditional" British currency is only 29 years older than the Euro at this point.

@jlargentaye @tilton @cstross Many, if not most, things called "traditional" are only around 200 years old.
