    The Euro is fúcked. Let's call a spade a spade. Are you changing your bank savings into Sterling? The Norwegian Krone? Gold? Money in a safe in the house?

    Or another?

    If you have any Euro notes hold onto them, You will have something to burn on the fire when we no longer can afford home heating oil and gas.

    Yep, noticing the writing on the wall whilst trapped in a burning building with the Three Stooges in charge of the fire engine is truly being hysterical.

    As for Sterling if the Euro goes the pound will take a hefty, if not fatal knock as well considering the exposure of the British banks and their reliance on trade with the EU.

    Why Sterling, they ain't exactly in the clear, the UK is a debt ridden state hence the Sterling has not risen significantly against the Euro. Gold is too expensive at the mo, perhaps sink your money into the Yen(they will recover) or Yuan and not the debt ridden dollar.

    I'm picturing this.

    And then, of course, the rise and rise of extreme fascism.

    Canadian dollars would be a safe bet I'd say. As far as I know their banks were good.

    Myself, Jim Jones and David Koresh are really frightened.

    We're planning on heading to Guyana.
    I have some guns and tins of beans. Are you with me?
