And I can understand the excuse Germany has, with the way re-unification was mis-handled, but what's France's excuse for screwing things up?

France's excuse for anything is France's self-interest.
I envy the way they feel able to just give that Gallic shrug before sticking up a middle finger at everyone else and then getting on with doing what suits them.
I wish we would do that a little more instead of being cursed with a Civil Service that enthusiastically implements every Euro-directive to the strictest possible interpretation.
The day we join the Euro is the day I seriously consider emigrating.
