"as later Gordon Brown was worried that the same thing would happen before any entry to the Euro."

Can't really think of any reason why he would have been wrong on that. Seeing the (artificially low) exchange rate for the Dutch gulden/guilder and Deutschmark at the introduction (and the Euro forex rates since) I get the strong impression Britain would have gotten equally shafted if not even harder had they decided to join the Euro.
