Blimey! This austerity business is much worse than I thought.
Portugal and Poland have both withdrawn from next year’s Eurovision Song Contest, in case they win and are faced with a huge bill for hosting the following year’s contest.
This seems an unlikely contingency, since neither Portugal nor Poland has ever won the Eurovision Song Contest. Still, in these straitened times, you can never be too sure.
