I would suggest that 70% of your business is done with businesses in Europe who pay you in Euros.
I'm not suggesting that we don't trade with Europe but merely that each European country reverts to a currency that it can easily support.
If a European country goes bankrupt you lose out whatever currency they are using.As it is the Euro is bankrupting countries whose economies are not strong enough to support it.
All countries, businesses and individuals need to live within their means. If they had we would not be in the mess we are in.
Dropping the Euro and the EU Parliament infrastructure gives poorer economies greater room to manouevre instead of being tied to EU dictats and allows stronger economies to continue without having to continously bail out economies that are failing.
Each nation's future, after all, lies in its own hands not the EU's.
If we had been allowed a referendum, I believe many people would vote to leave particularly when the EU Parliament has a salaries, pensions and expenses scandal that is bleeding European countries dry.
