Brown's tests were always highly subjective and purely political and cold be fudged to allow the Gowernment to time a decison whenever a referendum looked like it would be in favour with the Government's decision. Sadly, Dave the Sun Reader is very anti-Brussels and I have never considered a referendum have a cat's chance in hell of being in favour of joining the euro.

and the GBP/EUR exchange rate is at an almost sensible level

Ah yes, for certain values of sensible ;-)
