I don't know, but he'll be earning it for a few more years before he can retire thanks to the dungpile the greek economy is today.

You have to look hard on the BBC Website for the story but it seems the country is in such a state it has a debt to income ratio four times that allowed by the smug and prudent germans and therefore all its workforce are to be forced out of retirement and back onto the factory floor - except there are none, of course.

I recall Ireland being put through the wringer when its economy was out of step with the European Central Bank but funnily enough no-one tortured the germans or the french when they went the same way.

The smart money seems to be on it all ending in tears before bedtime and greece maybe going back to the drachma.

That'll bugger the dream won't it. I can't wait.
