Some European Co. not excepting UK CC!

Some European companies are no longer excepting UK credit cards, this means Europe is at each others throats.

Canned food is the best investment now.

You do realize that Britain doesn't use the euro, while most of Europe does, right...?

I've used a credit card in Canada before and we do not share a currency. They just charge a exchange rate. I would assume that hte same is true in Europe.

Yes nickle, well aware.

It was a news story that came across CNBC, German Banks and some in Poland are not taking the UK CC.

This a sign that the international banking system is breaking down to the point that commerce cannot take place. We could be days away from complete Banking failure.
