Sir Alan Walters famously predicted that the Euro would collapse under the weight of it's own contradictions in 5 years. Now that the Growth and Stability Pact has been watered down at the first sign of trouble he may well be right. This is your chance to stick a finger in the wind and predict the future. Simply pick a date any time in the future when you think the euro will be no more and the closest date wins. Only one person per date - but there are plenty to choose from !

Notes, Rules and Prize Judging:

  1. No money is involved in this competition - it's just a bit of fun but the prize is real and the cost is coming out of my own pocket. No need to bring down the Lottery regulator onto me.
  2. A single day can only be claimed by one person. There is no detection for multiple entries but please be honest and bet only once on each question above.
  3. Judging question 1: I deem the euro to have collapsed when there is no longer a single interest rate across the Euro zone. Some members may quit the euro-zone before it collapses, and I would consider the departure of France, Italy or Germany as the point at which the euro is no longer pan-European.
  4. The second bet should be easy to resolve; It's when the UK government decides the time table for switching over. All bets will be closed after this announcement. As I record the date bets are made I can filter out late bets.
  5. The resolution of question 1 voids question 2, but not vice versa.
May the best prophet win!
