"Why does the U.K. still use the pound and not the Euro"?

Answer 1

Uk's identity is the good 'ole pound sterling... face it, some nations are less flexible and have bigger egos than others.

Answer 2

theyre stubborn to switch because of the cultural identity of it, and the fact that the pound is stronger than the euro by a substantial margin.

Answer 3

You might just as well ask why the U.S. still clings to its traditional systems rather than switch to the metric system. We Americans are at a disadvantage whenever we go abroad because we can't make the switcheroo in our head. Why are we so stubborn? I haven't got a clue!
