| Rains slow Greek general strike | |
| 2013-11-07 | |
| Thousands of striking Greek workers marched to parliament in pouring rain on Wednesday to protest against measures imposed by foreign lenders, whose inspectors are in Athens to review the country's bailout. The 24-hour general walkout by Greece's largest public and private sector unions shut schools and disrupted flights but far fewer people took to the streets compared with previous protests as heavy downpours blanketed Athens.

| #1 What a bunch of wussies -- the protests were called on account of rain? Agree, I recall an African king, many years ago who went lion hunting. The lion turned, charged and killed him. Seems that was the first time the reign was called on account of game.... |
