Re Yorgo's post - can anyone tell me how to cow toe to a politician? Sounds like some weird initiation rite for Etonians or members of the Bullingdon Club at Oxford University! And yes, I do know he means kowtow, but cow toe sounds much more interesting

Before I start checking out every bank in Greece, can anyone tell me if they have a sterling account at one of them? Any info would be appreciated.

... begin making our 'insignificant' contribution to Greek government coffers. Maybe I'll go to see Nico, at the hardware store and cancel my order for aircon. I can manage another year without it. The car couldl go without its annual full service. It'll be fine. The stone wall in the garden? I'll ...

Monarch very definitely does not overbook now!

KEP in Agios Nikolaos signed and stamped my "proof of life" in December. I returned it to the pension provider with a note to explain who KEP are. No problems with that for the last two years. Give them a try, nothing to lose,
