According to a survey conducted in October, 50 percent of the Britons would be willing to renounce British pounds. This shift in desires and intentions is mainly due to the popularity of Tony Blair, who has recently clearly come back to support the European unified currency.
But that's not all. According to the research conducted by Gartner Consulting and commissioned by NCR, 73 percent of British retailers declare to be "ready for the Euro." 83 percent of those retailers will accept the unified currency as a means of payment and one third of those retailers will be even able to give change in Euro. "A very positive sign," the European Vice-president of NCR, Alberto Camuri, has remarked, "Because the retailers have understood the customers' point of view and problems and have thus considered the Euro more as an opportunity than as an inconvenience."
After all, according to that survey, European tourists bring about £6 billion into the pockets of the British. And more than half of shopkeepers are worried that they will lose their customers:customers might decide to go shopping in more euro-friendly shops
