UK's Osborne: Wants a guarantee from the EU (maybe he should buy a toaster)

The UK's George Osborne, speaking in London:

• Britain wants a guarantee from the European Union that it will not be penalised for remaining outside the euro zone

Britain's membership of the EU referendum is due before the end of 2017

More:

• "Its in our interests that the euro is a successful, strong currency. So we are prepared to support the euro zone as it undertakes the further integration it needs. But in return, we want a settlement between the UK and the euro zone that protects the single market and is stable, fair and lasts."

Osborne is the UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer

Both EUR and GBP are unmoved on Osborne's toaster speech.
