The Independent: This is a stick-up: Spaniards take revenge on banks for credit crunch

Bank robberies have risen by 20 per cent in two years, Spain's banking association says; and those who adopt the tactic of the stick-up to pay their debts are novices rather than hardened criminals.

What surprises me at the minute is the lack of bad things happening in the UK, it's all holding together here, at least for now...
I wish our currency was holding together as well...

The man from Del Monte he say: "Wake up everybody!"
Soon the French and Greeks will kick off. And the Eastern Europeans. And the US.
Meanwhile, back in the UK: "Did you see Big Brother last night?". The irony of it all.
