    Every chance that the ATMs will crash across Europe within a week :eek:

    This may be a silly question, but what good would £1000 of banknotes be if the banking system has collapsed?

    Buy a fiver's worth of roll-up tobacco. Use the remaining £995 to make roll-ups. Call yourself lucky if the ATM spat out tenners rather than twenties - twice as many roll-ups.

    Yes..i have already started pulling cash out. I pull the max out of my ATM every day. David Cameron was seen ripping a wad of cash out of an ATM before departing for Washington. You have been warned.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Meanwhile, yet unnamed newspapers are said to have hacked into Samantha Cameron's computer, and found thousands of Google searches for "Green Card"

    I'd not bother. If a lot are down there'll be mayhem and you can just stay at home and watch the mayhem on the news.... and phone into work saying "Sorry - no can do. Mayhem".

    Then watch Jeremy Kyle.

    I am sure MSE will run an article with very little research or direction showing how the Euro crisis is due to PPI and that all banks are going to implode and take all your money with you!

    (ironically when they should have they didn't the Iceland episode')

    Funny you say that, I've been stockpiling Golden Virginia for a while now, doesnt need feeding, always going up in price and easily tradeable.
