Thanks, Takeda, but I didn't get the impression that it was aimed at me despite of the quote. And if it was...well, frankly it was then so silly that I'd have hard time taking it seriously (it's not like I'm very good at that in any case.)

Well Hott, if it wasn't aimed at you then I owe Andy an apology.

Not aimed at Hottentot. Apologies if anyone saw it that way. Aimed at the OP, who seems to have taken advantage of the Cyprus situation to take a cheap shot at his favourite target without even bothering to look at who was proposing what, and why.

Nope, it's me that owes you an apology. Sorry Andy, I should read more carefully.

Yeah, like this won't start a bank run like crazy.

Stupid.

The dilemma seems to be that if they impose a levy, they will get a bank run. If they don't impose a levy, the EU will refuse to support Cyprus any further - which will cause a bank run. It looks like the political parties are all jockeying for position to see who comes out of it looking the least responsible for the mess. Nothing new there.

This won't help any expat Brits over there but the Brit government have guaranteed full compensation for any Brit government employees or Forces personnel who are subject to these measures.

Heck even the idea that this could happen might spark a bank run. Might not be a bad idea to stick it under the mattress until this all plays out.
