Why Won't the U.K. Join the Euro?

I cant understand why we havent joined the single currency already, and find it even more strange that as citizens we are told nothing, the government ignore the issue and we are all left wondering!

We were told once the 5 econimic tests were reached we would then join the currency, maybe now is the time to ditch the pound and make us much more competive as a country - especially now the pound is doing so crap against the euro and we get nothing exchanging our £s to €s for holidays now so why not.

The euro seems to be a much stable currency now its settled in, and seems to be doing a hell of a lot better during this global credit crunch than the £ has!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
