[Barman]

No default then! 

They just don't have to pay half of it back....

You need to get in quick - I'm sure Spain, Portugal and Italy are thinking about it!

Don't suppose you have Santander's number to hand ....

Looks like elections in Greece now....

They have always been a randy lot.

I hear on the news that Greeks with money are transferring it to banks in Cyprus and Switzerland.
Someone from the Greek Government said that they had an arrangement with the Swiss that they would be told who had moved money in this way .... the spokesman didn't mention arrangements with Cyprus

The Cyprus banks are quite capable of turning a blind eye to holdalls full of cash....

One of the few benefits of the Euro is the 500 Euro note.

Half a holdall of those would do very nicely.

I speak hypothetically of course but if a customer asked me if it were possible to pay cash, in Euros for example rather than being invoiced with the VAT at 20% in sterling then it might be worth considering.
Used Euros in a brown envelope could pay for a nice holiday after all  Of course I'd never go through with it in reality

Of course [winks]

The fact is, the more they raise tax/duty the more people there are that feel it is too much and try to avoid it...

Nobody here of course....
