I intuitevly suspect that it is a worrying trend though for the banks to find themselves in trouble. I was reading the stories in the Mail yesterday of the people who have their life savings involved, there was one gentleman who tried to draw out his 1 million pounds and had to barricade hismself in and the police had to be called as NR would not, not surprisngly, allow him to do so.
My own experience with debt and such like is that I would trust a bank very little nowadays to look after my money (any that I might in the future have that is!) and can see why our grandparents kept their monies under the matress! I would tend to do the sname nowadays with my hard earnt cash!
I remember once reading on one of the brilliant websites associated with this great forum a potted history on debt, bankruptcy etc from times way back ... I wish I could find it again ... it very much supports the philosophy of "what goes around, comes around".
