Resounding support for the Euro

the Local report that: 'Half of Germans want the Deutsche mark back' In fact its worse/better than that:
'Some 51 percent of those surveyed by market research institute Ipsos admitted they wanted their old currency back.

Just 30 percent said that they rejected the idea, while another 18 percent were undecided, the Hamburg-based institute reported.'
If you were German wouldn't you want to return to the stability of your own currency?

Ah! You beat me to it by a whisker. Different source though.

And so we wait ....

And yet every German voter the BBC's Peter Marshall met (and put on camera) just a few weeks ago supported the Euro. The 'Newsnight' reporter even emphasized the 'fact' that no-one he'd spoken to wanted to ditch it.
Either the mood of the German public has swung dramatically in the last month or the BBC's Peter Marshall was spinning like a spider on steroids. (I suspect the latter).
