yeah but my 40p bus fair is only because I'm a student, and I only get it that cheap to and from college and before 6pm, after that it can cost any where up to £2.25 or I can buy a ticket for £2.50 that I can use on any bus that day.
As for the euro I don't really care, it doesn't affect your average person like me what we use, our prices are still a rip off in the uk

It's only people with lots of money or who have jobs in finance or the stock market it affects and obviously the pound is better for them at the moment or they would have gone with the euro.
As for a single langauge, well most people speak english now anyway so it's only a matter of time.
