HEISTLAND
How on earth can paying a debt be 'unacceptable'?
For centuries, Icelanders have projected an image of old-fashioned moral rectitude. Looks like all along it was just a facade.
They splashed the cash when the good times rolled - but it was other people's cash. And now they don't want to honour their debts.
