The Euro - Time to re-open the debate?

I have just listened to an interview of Radio 4 (details to follow as soon as i can get hold of them) on the subject the Euro. Ten years on is it time to reopen the debate? I would say yes, i know that there is little chance of the UK adopting the euro in the short term but with Iceland, Sweden and Denmark all looking to join isn't the UK and its pound becoming dangerously isolated?

It's about time... (you Brits...)

Iceland wants the Euro?
And join the Union, or just the Euro?

I'm not sure, the papers in the UK are reporting that Iceland wishes to join the Euro. But i presume this could either be unilaterally, like Kosovo and Montenegro, or through the normal process of membership of the EU. Eitherway it would have to be superfasttracked.
