Some of the more enlighten than me types primarily some friends of work in London and two who work in a bank in tyneside say many people are cashing in their paper savings and buying gold, others fearing a complete collapse of the Euro cos of the Greek situation are buying loads and loads of food stuffs just in case. Closer to home a few of my friends who are preppers who also are more fiscally switched on than me are also stocking up on essentials and other commodities.
If the Greeks leave or get kicked out of the Euro I'll go and fill all my diesel containers and stock up my caches.
I feel personally that we all need to be watching the situation regarding the Euro, EU, the European socialists and the ever increasing numbers of desperately impoverished greeks, portugese, irish etc, it could all go tits up very quickly, IE in hours rather than days or weeks especially if the problem occurs whilst the stock markets are open.
