Well is it gonna happen and what are the consequences?

I've just seen the ridiculous sight of the Greek Police picketing the German Embassy demanding "respect"!

Please see learned treatise by Professor ******** on thread "The Sh*tstorm Commeth"

The Greeks seem to think the world owes them a living.

Easy for us to say, but Greek pensioners (who are unlikely to have had a hand in the world financial crisis) are looking at a 20% cut and no doubt more cuts later in their pensions. What else can they do about that other than protest?

Trouble is most of these "Greek pensioners" are in their early thirties.

There's a lot more of this to come as power moves from west to east. I quite fancy Greece for a holiday home now. There ought to be some increasingly nice deals going.

You're still better off over the border in Bulgaria, Give Greece 12 months at least after they go back to the Drachma.

Same place just different language, but as you probably speak neither what's the dif ?

Obviously if you talking about one of the less remote and nicer islands, or Captain Corelli land, then money must be no object.

If you had been there, you would be wishing to be over the border. Any border.
