Ireland is in trouble because it had to borrow a lot of money to bail out the banking system when it crashed and burned. The other Club Med states are just undisciplined economic losers; although to be fair Italy is like that because of the southern part.
C19fan,
Funny you should mention Club Med.
I have a sailboat I moor at Club Med in Port St. Lucie, Fl.
Great dock and set up.
90% of the time the winds come out of the southe east and I go in to the dock that faces to the south east. ( makes it easy to get in and out) BUT,
Club Med is a run down, crappy place with a bunch of flash that I would not pay Holiday Inn prices to stay at.
Lots of french folk come here during the winter. Great.
One more thing C19fan,
What does that stand for C19?
