But what's the charm that's protecting the UK from this fiscal storm?
OK.
So Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain all got into trouble.
Some people say through financial gluttony.
But the UK, which had the biggest deficit of all, escaped being turned into a pig.
Exactly.
But now I'm confused, Tim.
A few minutes ago, you were telling me that investors were happy to lend money to Greece because it was part of the Eurozone.
Now you're telling me that investors are happy to lend money to the UK because it isn't part of the Eurozone.

The sirens had beautiful, tempting songs, but would rip sailors to pieces.
Odysseus told his sailors to block their ears with wax, but had himself tied to the mast so that he could hear the siren's song, and yet couldn't leap overboard to his death, no matter how hard he tried.
But now there's a downside.
I do indeed.

OK.
