Comments on: Isn’t it time we left Maltese liri behind and stop using this fictitious ‘foreign exchange’ rate?

While walking in Bugibbba the other day, I noticed that a Chinese restaurant there still displays their outdoor menu item prices in LM (only). I only looked at the menu after a foreign friend remarked how cheap their food seems to be.

I thought it was a sign of getting the Maltese ready for switching back to Lira once we get kicked out of the EU. Pity that the rate may be slightly different to this if it happens.

The upwards arrow at the Drop Off and Pick Up Zone is worrying.

Believe it or not, I know a handful of people who still haven’t got the hang of the Euro, and must convert any value in EUR to LM before they can fully comprehend its value (You can even hear ‘xelin/ħames xelini’ being tossed around in this day and age).

Most of these are pensioners – and who can blame them? The lack of neuroplasticity presents a monumental challenge in such a volatile world.

Of course, whether we should be accommodating such individuals is a different matter entirely.
