UK will never switch to the Euro
It's the symbolic meaning of the pound that is more important for them imo. If they become republic, maybe, but as monarchy... no way. As for the driving - if the process is started, it will be a long and painful one, so I doubt that, too. It just doesn't make sense
It's perfectly possible to swap sides organised:
In 1955, the Swedish government held a referendum on the introduction of right-hand driving. Although no less than 82.9% voted “no†to the plebiscite, the Swedish parliament passed a law on the conversion to right-hand driving in 1963. Finally, the change took place on Sunday, the 3rd of September 1967, at 5 o’clock in the morning.
All traffic with private motor-driven vehicles was prohibited four hours before and one hour after the conversion, in order to be able to rearrange all traffic signs. Even the army was called in to help. Also a very low speed limit was applied, which was raised in a number of steps. The whole process took about a month. After Sweden's successful changeover, Iceland changed the following year, in 1968.
And Australia is going to be split off the UK in the next few years (this was raised again as seriouse thing last week), so the end of the UK is nearing anyway

I thought it was people's opinion that is important...
