I thought the Israeli-Palestinian thing is because they don?t have enough Marmite. Anyway, what about Australia for that matter? It seems that it isn?t the heat but the combination of heat and the Euro. As a currency it was obviously designed for use in economies where the people making financial transactions are not suffering from heat induced laziness and half-cut on olive oil. The refusal to take sensible, honest consideration of climate induced cultural differences when structuring monetary policy is one of the many things that are wrong with the world today.
