Portugal goes cap in hand

[ThomasSoerensen]

Portugal has finally admitted it needs help to get out of the mess it is in from overspending....

I heard that the UK will cough up £3billion - another legacy from the dying days of Brown's government

Alistair Darling agreed to the UK contributing to this bail out fund, days before the election.

I wonder who will be next, Spain?, Italy? Belgium?

It all sounds awful for the Euro

Don't forget to add UK to the list of countries in the queue.

...and the weather's no good oop north.

Sure it is. Better weather than Cornwall in the NE, it's the temperature which is lower.

Beautiful sunny day as I type this, which obviously proves I'm right

Here's right.

In the rain shadow of the penines in the NE, the weather is usually sunny and rainfall is light and infrequent. Much better than places like Cornwall where it is raining pretty much every day.

Problem is when it's nudging 30 deg C in the SE, it's only about 20 in the NE.

The other problem is wind. It's either windy or blowing a gale most days.

You want to get yourself some of those new fangled windmills.
