Greece: a modest propsal

I'm old enough to remember when the Common Agricultural Policy gave us the European cheese mountain.* I suspect that any feta-based programme for making serious inroads into Greek debt is going to need a whole mountain range of dairy products.


*Sober afterthought - I'm pretty sure, now I come to think about it, that it was a butter mountain, not a cheese mountain, which constitutes evidence for the counter-intuitive idea that there can be such a thing as too much beer and sunshine...
