Sneaky barstewards - Cypriot banking crisis

[scotty123]

Just been to my local mini market. Woman there says they cannot except any cheques, credit or debit cards from Laiki bank. Shit just got real.

get out mate.

Have to say i agree with Josh mate, we had a lucky escape it was only the wifes illness that brought us back we would have lost thousands everybody saying to us ''you had a lucky escape''
I know your family circumstances but consider it for you and your familys sake, most on our old complex that we are still in touch with are waiting for the first chance to get out

Bit sketchy on the UK news, has Laiki bank gone under ?
Said the people protesting outside parliament were Laiki bank staff who had lost their jobs

All over bar the shouting mate. From what I've been told R.I.P Laiki bank. My missus had 6k in there.

Sorry to hear about that, though there seem to be conflicting reports.

Are these accounts, those under 100K, not safeguarded under the EU, or do those terms not apply if a bank goes/is forced under?

Not sure mate, couple of locals said it was finished, bit worrying when only last month their staff took a massive pay cut. But for now, anyone coming here for their jollies, I'd play safe and get euros in the UK.

I'll give up to date riot reports in the next couple of weeks.

They are protected, yet it seems not to matter, we're back to politicians looking after their own interests again. Merkle has an election to win.

With interest rates at near zero ( and possible negative interest in the future) and inflation at over 2.5%, savers in this country have effectively been "taxed" 5% in the last 2 years.

Drip drip, but same outcome.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

near zero?

You aren't trying hard enough.

near zero?

Sorry , you've lost me there? They're 0.5% at the mo and inflation is 2.8%.

What am I getting wrong?

If you're talking about an average savings account on the high street, then yes, as good as 0%.

That what you mean?

Germany claim their first victim then. Wonder who will be next.

Let this be a warning to us. David Cameron and George Osborne are NOT misinformed they are just lying to us.
