This is why you should use a credit card when traveling.
None of the high street shops which have gone on record in the press as saying they accept euros, were willing to be put to the test on tape when contacted, except the Virgin Megastore on London's Oxford Street.
And even there, while the shop assistant said purchasing a CD with euros would be no problem, there were practical difficulties with the transaction.
"The exchange rate has been placed onto the system at 1.72, it says yes we can accept it, but for some reason once we highlight euro or any currency at the moment it's saying we can't take it," she said.
But the transaction could be completed manually and half an hour later, the purchase of the CD using euros was complete.
Shopping at a profit
British teenager Richard shields last week got a pleasant surprise when he changed his pocket money into euros and went shopping at a Debenhams department store in north London.
Debenhams accepts euros as well as pounds, but computers in the store thought the single currency was worth two and a half times its actual value.
On current evidence, the euro will probably have to do a lot more creeping before it is really welcomed in London's shops.
