Euros... EU? No... eeeeeeuuuuuuuuuu!
Natalija Radic (Croatia)  European affairs

I went into a small café in Zürich today and inadvertently tried to pay with Euro's rather than Swiss Francs. The woman looked at me as though I had just handed her a dead mouse, then peered at the note, holding it in two fingers with her arm fully extended as if worried she might catch something. I snatched it back and handed her some Swiss Francs. She nodded and said "Much better... Euros are so ugly".
