I can't quote the regulation. As a starting point, this is from Wikipedia. I'm sure you know what I'm referring to!
If you can't quote the regulation you think you have heard of, I won't point it out.
Grow up!!!!!
"All EU member states are in principle obliged to introduce the euro once they fulfil the convergence criteria"
'In principle' is not an obligation...
Have you heard of the phrase 'negotiating an opt out'?
The EU were willing to allow the UK to negotiate many opt outs during it's membership, and would no doubt still do the same.
Because it would still be a valued member.
Unfortunately the UK which seems hell bent on going 'full US style', whereas the EU value their people far more!
Thank you for a polite, thoughtful and grown up response.
If the government says, for example, "we will fund the NHS adequately when the time is right"
(Or "when all the conditions have been met")
Does that mean they will do it?
Sweden, for example, has never considered the time to be right to join the Euro.
If, one day, the time is right, they will do it.
As will Scotland.
And why not?

All EU member states are in principle obliged to introduce the euro once they fulfil the convergence criteria. The only exception is Denmark, which has an 'opt-out clause' in the EU treaties, exempting the country from the obligation to adopt the euro.

I've been given the answer now, from somebody with good manners.
So, either we've crossed the bridge, and burnt it. Or there might be some wiggle room on meeting all the conditions.
I'm pretty sure that adopting the Euro is not a central pillar of the EU. But accepting Schengen is a central pillar of the EU. Whether passport controls, as they exist now, would be allowed, we don't know yet.

The reason I hate brexit is not all about the economics...
It's also a fact that our children (as dual nationals) have so many more freedoms/opportunities than most of their lifelong friends.
Freedoms/opportunities that have been taken away from those friends
They should all deserve the same chances in life!
