another point (which was hard to make given the limits of typing on a Blackberry and the fact that the movie was about to start): not only is the UK's credit rating much better than Greece's (so the interest rates it pays are significantly lower) but the UK can always let the pound sterling depreciate, helping its exports and its economy. Unless Greece splits from the EMU it can't do that. The UK is hardly in the same bind. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
