Reports from Greece

The Island of Ios has recorded only 1.8mm of rain from the 1st of March until today
And Athens has only seen 11.0mm of rain the past 63 days...
This is very worrying especially for Athens as the summer period that follows can be extremely dry in the capital and could play an important factor in temperature extremes in the Attica basin
If this continues Athens will have a big problem accommodating its 5 million population in the metropolitan area in terms of water supply

Given it's already mid April I would say they are around 3C above average.

It would be highly appreciated if you could please visit the following link and vote for this campaign that started 1 week ago.Support coming especially from Britons would be highly desirable as this could force the British Museum to enter a more constructive dialogue before this is brought to the EU parliament.
oh and please do watch the video!!

Hope for your understanding and support!!

This video was funny, but there is an important message within it. What's more, Greece is currently going on a VERY strong financial and economic crisis ! Germany and France (and the EU in general) will try to help this country, but hey, German and French politics are quite reticent to help (in particular Angela Merkel).
PS: sorry for the off-topic reply!

Well if Germany and France is helping Greece is not bsc of their good heart but bsc of their fear that Euro will be totally distabilized from the attacks of those who want to make a profit from Euro's fall,since Portugal is on the queue and waiting after Greece
Now for the marbles,well we would like to thank the British museum for offering to lend us the marbles on a ''rota'' system after 200 years of not even discussing about it and only entering discussions after we built one of the most modern museums in the world last year.. so thanks,but no thanks.British public according to polls is on Greece's side and I trust on Britons to support us even more
sorry for the off topic as well

Yeah, that's right. I know that it's not "because of their good heart", it's evident. The problem is that other European people outside Greece also suffer from the Global Crisis, included the German, the French and the British (even though they're the three richest countries in the EU), so, the leaders don't know what to do and how to help Greece without "stealing" people's money. Sorry, if I don't express myself very well. :( In any case, you're right about the Euro's fall on the markets.

well at the end of the day the working force of France and Germany will have to pay the bill of Greece's wrongdoings through tax increases in both Germany and France...the problem is how will France and Germany communicate this to their people.
However this situation in Greece was created from a gang of motherf@ckers politicians who made fortunes by misusing our money.Greece is on the brink of civil unrest as we speak and if I was not living in London I wouldnt mind joining my fellow nationals in burning the houses of the motherf@ckers 666
They have destroyed Greece's international image and made us look like a third world country and I personally hold them liable for this mess...When 6 years ago we were the smallest country in the world to host one of the most succesfull Olympics Games and had 5% growth in economy which was comparable only to Japan..and now what??A mess just bsc they wanted to build their villas in the northern Athenian suburbs
Sorry for my tone but it hurts seeing my country in the mess the politicians created
