Spanish banks bailout

[Free at Last]

:clap: Free at Last, I must say I have noticed that about Frank's posts, too.

There you go again stepping in when there is a slight wobbly. Were you by any chance one of those knitters watching the heads roll during the Terror in a previous life

Have I been downgraded from a "stunning rant" to a "slight wobbly" already? Must be a bit like S&P or Moody's downgrading the Spanish banks. I must say I thought DA was setting the bar a bit low.

[Devils Advocate]

Leave DA out of it please ..............got into enough trouble mixing it with you women last time

[IreneD]

Oh darn! When I wrote my reply I very nearly said 'Never mind, Frank, Sooty'll be along in a minute' (or is it Sweep? I forget who's who.....) Wish I had now, but I decided to be nice Silly where you're concerned eh, Katy?

That's not a very nice thing to say, is it? Don't join the Diplomatic Service, Katy, you won't last 5 minutes

[katy]

Funny you should say that

[IreneD]

Aaaaarrrrggghh! Don't tell me! You're not!!!..........Are you?? Yikes!

[katy]

I am nothing...I don't work

[IreneD]

Whew! 'course you don't I was getting very frightened for the people who might call on your diplomacy skills. I can relax

Riiiiiight. Bonsoir then, Madame Defarge.

[White Horse]

Please forgive me for making the mistake of thinking this was a serious thread and not being spammed.

[Mowser]

Can anyone join in? What's it all about anyway?

[katy]

I think it's about Spain needing a bailout

[Mowser]

I think it's about Spain needing a bailout

Sorry. I thought it was about Frank.

Crikey, does Frank need a bailout too!

[katy]

Bankia have a special offer to new account holders...a Spiderman towel. Get there before they run out

2 new words in the media todat SPEXIT and SPANIC!

So I open a new account with this bankrupt bank, give them at least €300 a month and they give me a Spiderman beachtowel- Nah, the Chinese shop in Coín has them for a one off payment of €5
Bankrupt by €24 Billion, government with no money to bail them out, why have the account holders not taken all their money out by now, I know a lot have, but what's wrong with these people?

[Julie]

The spanish people I have spoken too, don't appear to think there is a problem

I have taken anymoney I had there already just less a couple of k in to cover running costs.

I am starting to think something may happen with Spain before Greece

They do now judging by the reader's comments in El Pais online edition - loads of them saying there going to empty their accounts when they open.
I blame the delay on the lack of a Robert Peston equivalent in Spain, remember the spectacular run on Northern Rock that was partly attributed to him in 2008?

Then the funds in reserve drop & they require more money . Best if Rajoy just takes them over & guarantees the debts ,if & when they arise. Then the billions not used to prop it up will be able to be used to try & create some jobs.
