You may well be correct but Hula is asking something personal to him and not interested in anything else. Sorry Hula I cannot give any advise but its a bit annoying when threads get lost on a completley different subject that they were started on and I find it most annoying. I am probably adding to the problem by even putting this thread on, so sorry for that also.

Hi

Just trying to confirm your working out. If it is €150 for fuel and €30 for hotel where does £240 come from?

Sorry if its me being a bit thick - we were thinking of driving this year and looked at various quotes but found they varied quite a lot. Looking at your figures am I right in thinking that if you use tesco points for free crossing and avoid the tolls then the return journey would cost about €360.  Also how long does your journey take?

Will appreciate any info on this as we really fancy the drive.

Thanks

Mandy.

What happens if a country goes bankrupt?? I have been reading this as an option to the Euro collapsing but cannot understand the difference. Also if a country did declare its self bankrupt what difference would this make to Joe public?? obviously the country wouldnt cease to exist neither would all the businesses in that country (same as if the Euro collapsed, you would still have your newsagents/cafes/restaurants etc etc open and trading) wouldnt you?? Finally, how would a country becoming bankrupt affect people with motgages abroad, would it be the same as the Euro collapsing?

Thanks for the reply TJ,

Just one more question then because you seem to have been along the right lines since the the start of this thread back in 2007. In your experience IF you had bought a Spanish property and financed it with a Spanish mortgage as we do, would you

A. ride it out ?or

B. sell now (if you managed to get a buyer) at whatever price you could get before the Euro collapses??

Hi TJ,

Further back you try and answer some questions on what would happen "when" the Euro collapses saying that most people would be forced to default on their mortgage because of the devaluation of everything. you also say  "If you have earnings in Sterling, then things would be different of course"  What are you saying here?? that we would be better off or worse off because of the exchange rate.

Cheers Rory.
