I like to think so.

BTW My avatar bares an eerie (because it is so strong) resemblance to someone for whom I have lots of affection and spend a lot of time with actually. I didn't realize it untill recently.

I hope I don't disturb you when I'm posting on-topic.

I've experiences from France and Germany. In France, I haven't noticed any problems, but I think there were fines against increasing prices ...
In Germany, wages, rents and more official things were handled correctly. In fact, where I saw most problems and where it is possibly most easily to spot are the prices in restaurants. I was in Hamburg in spring 2001 and spring 2002. The first time I was interested in a restaurant which was too expensive for my taste. In 2002 I was there because it was one of the cheaper around. And here we come to the next point

quote: this is affecting a lot of Eu countries as was said in the article BTW. But we're the only ones doing boycotts. Typical

In Germany, many restaurants complain about having not enough guests, and some were already forced to close. And less those who kept their prices. This boycott is not so loud but strikes harder.

I still think the governments should have been much more active and hands on in controlling this.

Oh well welcome to Apolyton OT. A shelter for many gays. There's something about this place I think. (tolerance?)

Well that's different from country to country.. Italy has crazy tax rates, so shopkeepers and forced to raise prices to avoid bankrupt- making the euro was very expensive, and I see no benefits in the short-term

But the thing is that in many cases they hiked without that danger of bankrupcy being anywhere near. Just taking (and being free to take) advantage of the switchover.

Usually, it is "Hello, I'm new" but that can work as well. I mean if you can't get a date any other way...

Whilst prices on low-value items in Greece may be rising at 10% the rate of inflation is only 3.3% (for june) - this compares with a 3.2% average for 1999-2001.

So if the large rises in low-valued items are actually real then they are being offset by price cuts elsewhere.

I therefore commend the greek government in doing nothing about a non-existant problem.

There are some other fights to do to be really efficient (e.g. forcing banks not to take an extra high money for inter-European transactions). But as a German living in France, I benefitted already a lot. No more the filthy Belgian/Luxemburgian money when I had to take a meal at Luxemburg railway station on the way from Nancy to Cologne!
Three different currencies in one bag sucks!

Is paikti threadjacking his own thread here?!

Anyway things in Germany were handled in a somewhat decent manner, unlike Greece were I can only imagine... Restaurants got a bad name because of a few bad apples that just changed the DM with €. Problem with Germany is the high taxes, a lot of the taxes were "hidden" in the euro conversion and people perceived them as price hikes. So let's see prices were rounded up and taxes went up my salary stayed on the same exact level hmmm, I kind feel poorer. Although it's nice to be able to go to Maastricht for shopping or to France fro the weekend and not have all these different currencies in your pocket!

Despite Euroflation, prices are still cheaper in Europe than in the UK.
