IJMC - European Nationality Quiz

I think my claim to fame in this case is that I have flown over Europe. 
So far, I have only managed to visit one country where I needed a 
passport. Which mainly means to say I have hardly left my hemisphere. Any 
travel agents out there who want to sponsor the IJMC's first world tour? 
I do not know what I can offer, but at the least you will get to see your 
name here...ok, so back to the drawing board for a better offer...  -dave

Clearly if you were European you would have answered A to all of the above.

This is what we want in Europe:
1)    Swiss salary.
2)    Luxembourg taxes.
3)    German car.
4)    British home.
5)    Spanish girls.
6)    French wine.
7)    Italian food.
8)    Belgian beer.
9)    Austrian mountains.
10)   Danish administration.

And this is the EC's proposal for a Europe after EMU:
1)    Czech salary.
2)    Swedish taxes.
3)    Spanish car.
4)    Greek home.
5)    Irish girls.
6)    German wine.
7)    British food.
8)    French beer.
9)    Dutch mountains.
10)   Italian administration.

Apparently, when we join the EMU, the term "spending a penny" will be
replaced by "euronating".
