The Sunday Times has claimed that Whitehall has plans for a euro-evacuation. The paper claims that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office is drawing up plans to ‘rescue’ thousands of British expats from Spain and Portugal in the event of a banking collapse.


The Sunday Times says the treasury confirmed that plans to give emergency aid to Britons if eurozone banks collapse were being prepared, but refused to give details. The Foreign Office admitted it was preparing for a ‘nightmare scenario’ of thousands of penniless Britons sleeping at airports and no means of getting home. They are reported to be discussing chartering planes, ships and coaches to evacuate expats.

Interesting read – taken a from Telegraph story back in November. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/8917077/Prepare-for-riots-in-euro-colla...
There 'will' be a banking crash/crisis at some stage soon – and whether it is here in Spain or any where else (not just the Euro-zone) then there will be more withdrawls than usual.

If the recent episode in L'Aldea is anything to go by, then it would appear that it may be a good idea to have some cash stashed by, and about two weeks of food/water in the event that somethings goes amiss.

Oh and two weeks of tinto...

I took my €9.27 out of the bank this morning, just to be on the safe side 

You spend it all at once C. J if you want, it is a crisis after all.
