WRC: A comfort to the economic Greek tragedy
Last weeks' Acropolis Rally ran in the cash-strapped country of Greece. Was that a wise thing to do? Absolutely, insists David Evans
The streets of Loutraki burned last Sunday night. And threading my hire car through a bunch of angry protestors wasn't going well. I opened my window and offered a tentative "kali spera". A thick-set fellow of six-and-a-bit feet slapped his hand on the roof, leaned into the car and glowered at me.
And then smiled.
"Rally?" he enquired.
I got the feeling rally was a good thing, so I nodded enthusiastically.
"Sorry for this," he said throwing his arm in the direction of the pile of burning rubble. "We tried not to hurt you. We have done everything else, but nothing works. So we strike."
