    Germany could be paying me in bananas, if it all collapsed tomorrow they'd still have something to sell, and continue to pay me.

    You should be asking how is it possible the euro is maintaining it's low exchange with the pound despite the crisis. I suspect you know why. Now that's reason to be cacking oneself.

          Most of those employed evade tax or are in non-jobs.

            The Germans must be desperate if they're hiring cretins like Lord Haw Haw and Master Bates.
            What happens when they hit their demographic time-bomb in a few years?
            They'll just have to get in loads of immigrants to wipe their old arses, or maybe the offspring of the of the thick expats they took in years ago.

              What would you call that, goodwill?
              The public sector in the UK makes up roughly half of all economic activity. That's borderline socialism, and it's a pretty long way from "extreme" capitalism.

                Okay, I'll bite...


                Greek unemployment: 18.4% (Aug. 2011)
                UK unemployment: 7.6% (Mar. 2011)

                Is it getting any clearer now?

                  I just had an agent on the phone trying to intice me back to the UK at almost half the rate I'm currently receiving

                  Inflation is rampent in the UK and those of us of with an interest in protecting our wealth would do well to stay clear of earning sterling.

                    The public sector does not bring in any new money :face palm:
