The Germans, especially, like to talk about them having had this crisis coming, what with Greeks retiring at 50 from public service and awarding themselves 40 per cent extra wages in the eight years after joining the euro. I’m not inclined to take a censorious view. In fact, you could say I’m the very personification of Greece, or at least an object lesson in the costs of easy credit.
