Who has heard of this little known EU directive?

EU Directive No.45617

In order to bring about further integration with the Single European currency, all citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland must be made aware that the phrase 'Spending a Penny' is not to be used after 31st December 2013.

From this date onwards, the correct terminology will be:

'Euronating'.

Thank you for your attention.
