    Something worse. We export the name of a Portuguese born mercenary/traitor who sold himself to the Spanish crown (Against the Manueline Ordenances), to sail around America and reach the Mollucas, on the name of our home-produced laptops.Magalhães/Magellan

    It started like, one year ago. In one year, with an economy the size of our own, you can't expect to have Magalhães's from Mexico to Japan. Then there is the computer's own Economy of Scale.

    Germans suspect French Banks of using the ECB to ditch Greek debt, and thus clear up their balance sheets, whilst German banks do the noble thing and agree to hold onto Greek debt until 2013.

    the EU transfer union is now in full swing:

    Can anyone place this in context? Say, international banking within the last 50 years?

    Value is based on perception. I'm beginning to perceive financial institutions as fiction authors.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    There would be an element of truth to this as these institutions make money from transactions and not saving "Churn Churn is there battlecry"
