    The key is to never travel to countries (aka "lands") that have naturally occurring ice - because technically, Austria with its mountains, for example, makes it a land of ice or ICE-LAND and they can't be trusted. I'm only holidaying in Niger from now on. Once I've taken up the offer of the £152 flight to Rekjavik of course.
  • is it just UK customers that got 'frozen' out?

    While we're blaming entire countries for their PM's actions, let's boycott British banks too!

    Did we not come a poor second when we took them on in the cod war in the 70s.
  • I can't decide if the people on here referring to Kerry Katona/Iceland are taking the p*ss or just don't realise Iceland the store is unrelated to the country.

    Anyway, Iceland as a country and the population as a whole deserve our sympathy. If we think we have it bad then they are in a much worse position. The problem is with their government not the people.
