The Express plugs the Euro! Shurely shome mishtake!
I had a welcome surprise on Friday, when reading the Express (of all papers!) making a case for Britain to join the euro! While the new vastly reduced roaming tariffs will make it much cheaper for people to call and receive calls from abroad, the pound's weakness against the euro means that the maximum fee for UK mobile users will actually go up in terms of pounds. This is another, albeit smallscale, example of how Britain's status outside the eurozone leaves it vulnerable to currency fluctuations.
However, I fear that the Express was not intentionally intending to plug British membership of the single currency.
