Currency and Property Market
Some British vendors are thinking of increasing the asking price of their property due to the slight appreciation of the pound against the euro,and also because we are heading into spring which is perceived historically as a good season to buy and sell houses. To the people who are this way inclined I would advise them not to increase their prices on the strength of these very feeble indicators. The pound is likely to go down again and not recover until after the May election (depending of course on the results) and in times of economic crisis seasonal trends have very little effect. Buyers want bargains. They know they can get them at least for this year so please do not price yourself out of the market or you may end up waiting until Spring 2011.

Greek Economy
I doubt that Socrates could ever have imagined that one day the economy of Greece would be run from Brussels. This is exactly what is happening as I write. The Hellenic government has been told to reform the pension system as well as the health and public sector to the dismay of the population at large. They have discovered that the previous government had cooked the books and the new one expects the voters to pay the bill. Social unrest looms likely on the horizon unless the rest of the European Community cares to come to the rescue with some tangible help. Of course help will not be delivered until Mr. Zapatero and Spain hand over European residency too another country.
