I hope you dont get put off visiting Greece as that will just make things worse for the Greeks - its the money elite in this world that need to get their priorities straight.

A couple of friends of mine have just come back from Crete and the mood there is quite buoyant. Not sure how it works but so far the islands are largely unaffected apparently.

I can see Greece leaving the Euro zone, its in so much debt now to the point of no return I hope our leaders take heed and not dismiss the crisis as only a Greek problem. Given the problems in Europe over the last few years if we had a in or out vote it would be interesting to see the outcome now not in 2017. Which by then Cameron will have brainwashed the masses that the EU is good even at the expense of immigration social problems it has caused. Only recently in Shirebrook two Polish guys stabbed a couple of locals. I definitely vote to get out of the EU we could trade happily without some guy in Brussels telling is what to do .

We need to get out of the EU asap. The Greek default might be the tinder that sparks the fire. Nations can trade without pillocks in Brussels telling them how to do it,and sucking on the gravy train in the meantime.
The EU is a vast, wallowing, monster which has outgrown itself to an extent that nobody trusts it anymore.
Uk is friends with the trading world - do we need the EU interfering with this? Telling us what we can & can't do? Moreover, limiting our own government legislation & powers? Treaties we have signed up to - and for what? Who asked the general public first?
Cameron - if he has any testicles, needs to either radically alter the EU, or accept that it's just a money sapping monster.
I can't see him doing that - he might get an appeasement of miniscule proportions which he will no doubt gloat emphatically about prior to the vote/referendum.
As I see it,manufacturers work together, which is good. Do we need the EU for that? No.
Immigration- I think we are stretched to the limit on that one (I'm not racist, but someone will disagree).
My conclusion - GO GREECE!!  And the best of luck ;)
