Re: Spain in a 'state of total emergency' ?
So Stevie you are saying nothing will change, all those Darn Sarf with big expensive houses that havent taken the hit the rest of the Uk have will be investing in Spain again - just the same as 10 year ago.
We have a decent sized 3 bed semi, good sized gardens, failed to sell at £120,000 - thats north of Watford, south of Humber on the edge of the Fens, near to a main railway line and the A1.
How much is that going to let us buy even in the depressed Spanish market??
As someone said earlier, there are those places where the crisis appears to be something effecting the rest of the world, whilst the rest of us have to wade through it.
I am worried because my favourite XL eggs have gone up from €1.99 to €138 a dozen, I may have to look for cheaper if this crisis carries on much longer.

The future is the big problem, the experts are wringing their hands, UKIP are sharpening their knives, Obama is lecturing the EU on how to solve their problems, in truth, nobody knows what's going to happen next.

Perhaps you were in the arithmetic lesson when you should have been in spelling?

Re: Spain in a 'state of total emergency' ?
Apparently Rajoy has telephoned Merkel today, asking for action.
If this action is not forthcoming, there can surely be only 2 possibilities? : i) a request for an IMF bail-out or ii) a pull-out from the Euro and a replacement currency.
Does Rajoy have the balls to take the second option (or the foresight to have made precautionary plans)?

Yikes! Rumours that Rajoy is resigning this afternoon. 
No, can't be true, can it? That would really set the panic off.

Eire appears to have approved the European Pact, the only state to be holding a referendum on the subject
