Get all cash out of the bank

[Boy Wonder]

You never know... some of the males might like one too?

[harrymoon]

Would any of the forum ladies like me to give them a large deposit??????....

fed up with the hole in the wall Allan?

[Vince]

i wish i had some cash to withdraw

I'm with you on that one Fleeter. I would be quite happy to see it crash, declare bancruptcy and watch civilisation as we know it crumble to the ground, where simple bartering takes over, using pebbles and favours.

[Margarine]

I've got some great pebbles....

You have nothing to worry about unless you have more than 25k in the bank.The government will refund up to that amount if bank goes to the wall.Anyone with more than that is advised to open other accounts with a different bank...however be aware that many banks are part of the same group.
This flooding of the market with borrowed money has been looked upon as great for the economy,hence Labours so called strong economy(falsely perceived strong economy) over the past 10 years.However it comes to a point where banks need the money back.This irresponsible lending is the not to different to what Robert Mugabe has done in Zimbabwe.He has flooded the market with money and people pay for loaves of bread with wheelbarrow's of the stuff.The currency has become worthless,inflation runs at 100,000's of %.Just look at the state of our currency recently vs the euro and dollar.It would be a hell of alot worse if the U.S and Europe weren't doing the same on a smaller scale....hold onto your hats everyone it's only going to get worse !

It's £35k actually, although it's probably a moot point for many of us .

As ever, the media loves to sensationalize everything and put the willies up the general public...sells more papers.
I'll admit I cribbed this from an editorial but I think it sums up the situation...The fall of some banks and institutions is not Capitalism in crisis but Capitalism in action. Lehmans was allowed to fall because it had been avaricious and arrogant. Merril Lynch was saved because it had been more prudent. These are savage times but they will flush out the rotten and the strong will survive. At the end of it, us poor punters should have a more realistic situation to deal with.
