The Greek seamens' strike

The sheer amount of damage that the Greeks seem to be able and willing to do to themselves continues to stagger me. The latest is a 24-hour strike amongst seamen protesting anti-austerity measures. This is bound to act as a wake-up call to anybody who is considering buying property on a Greek island (if indeed there are any such people left), and should the exercise be repeated for a more extended period, life on Greek islands — a vital part of their tourist industry — will come to a shuddering halt. Remember, most people in Europe have just three days' food in their cupboards.
