Did anyone catch the Deutsche Bank guy on 5Live this morning? Interesting analysis of the situation and categorically he stated there was absolutely no talk of Spain ever leaving the Eurozone, in fact he was adamant that Italy, Greece and a couple of others may well leave but that Spain and Port could never and no one in Spain at the top is even talking about it.

That to me is the most positive sign that Spain and Portugal will be out very soon.

I wonder what the general reaction would be if Spain pulled out of the euro soon ?

Would the population consider it a positive sign that at least something was being done to alleviate the crisis and continue to exercise patience, or would it be looked upon as complete failure and unsettle them even further ?

Believe it or not, there just isn't a large desire currently to pull out of the Euro (you would thought so, but as yet no). Give control of the currency value back to the local politicians??? You have to realise that everyone who's earning, knows that his or her Euros have a good purchasing power, which would be slashed with a return to a local currency .

Tell you what Jackie, we all know there is a huge "working on the black" issue here. But the new jobs I've linked to exist. No attempt by you to do your normal "it's all made-up" this time?

As for Andalucia, I see Malaga football club are playing at home this weekend. Are we really going to see empty terraces there? I think not? Can't see Real Betis playing before an empty crowd either.
Atletico Madrid then? Nope.
Athletic Bilbao perhaps? Nope.
I think I've mentioned packed and heaving bars before - well maybe I'm just lucky when I fly out there.
Are Starbucks empty in Spain? Genuine question by the way - they serve overpriced coffee as a brand. Can someone here who is actually in Spain pop to their local Starbucks and post a pic? It may actually be empty (and prove me wrong) but I have my doubts..
Of course this doesn't mean there aren't a lot of youngsters without long-term stable work in their area, particularly in the south/ Andalucia. But, as I've said, there are a lot of hard-working and talented Spanish out there who will resolve the situation. Despite the best efforts of some who waste no opportunity to badmouth a whole nation.
