I'm in France, and the idea of boycotting German products is actually quite strong - and not just in Paris, I'm out in the sticks, and I've noticed supermarkets deep discounting German products because no-one's buying.

That said, France is very nationalistic about its purchasing at the best of times, so it's hard to tell how much of that is due to Greece.

I'd be quite happy to show solidarity with Greece by boycotting German products, if only it wasn't time for me to buy a car... :/

In my humble opinion, the most patriotic thing you can do is buy a Renault and then gripe about it for the entirety of your ownership.

This made me snort coffee out of my nose. In a good way (although my dog is now looking at me like I'm drunk/a toddler).

The other option would maybe be to get a Greek donkey? Hmm, so many choices.
