At more than 250%, household debt is even higher than in Ireland and 2 times the level in Greece. Already one bank was rescued by the government, and with house prices still collapsing there may well be more to come. Consumer debt in the Netherlands has hit 250% of available income, one of the highest levels in the world. In Spain, by comparison, it has never gone above 125%.

Mmmm!! More Haircuts to come.

At least the Barbers are being kept busy.

 

[mmm....shiney!]

Majority of the Euro tourists that come through our place are Nederlanders.

On a side note, they're easy to tell apart from Germans. They smile.

ING and Rabobank have a big presence here. Although operating under Oz law i wonder if the parent companies are in trouble.
