The English Penny

EU Directive No. 456179

In order to meet the conditions for joining the Single European currency,
all citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
must be made aware that the phrase 'Spending a Penny' is not to be used
after 31st December 2009 .

From this date, the correct terminology will be: 'Euronating'.

Thank you for your attention.
