IN a leader discussing a single currency (LET, October 15) you refer to a "sentimental" attachment to sterling.
The pound is, and has always been, part of our national heritage.
I would view its abolition with horror, as, I'm sure, millions of others would.
Remember the words of Jacques Delors, one of the Brussels bully-boys: "With a single currency all members of the European Monetary would become liable for the debts of (any) single country."
The single currency would be like an albatross around the neck of this country and would surely remove the last vestige of sovereignty that we possess.
The continental politicians know this. Ours are keeping quiet about it.
