General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Gaffer, I don't understand why Germany should benefit any more than another Euro country.
The Euro is a single currency. As far as I see it, the country which does most trade makes most money (in €, of course!)

Three weeks ago, we drove to Spain, via France.
It was clear, to both of us, that every other car was either an Audi, a Mercedes or a Volkswagen, with one or two Porsche spotted on occasion.

Could it not be that the money ploughed into Gerrmany, by the rest of The World, after the war, came to fruition at that time?

I can only see an an advantage in trading in currencies of different exchange values.
A € is a €, whether German, French, Italian or Spanish.
