Seriously, it's awful seeing all these banks collapsing. If your money isnt safe in a bank then where can we keep our savings? Maybe we should invest it in gold bars and bury them in the garden?

This is all Garins fault. I told him that an economy dependant on debt is just not going to work. If I give the bank £1, how the hell can they magically turn that into £9 and give as a loan or a morgage. What if everyone stopped borrowing money and started saving? Is that not what the banks want us to do?

Basically 35k per person per financial institution - not by account.

apparently going to smaller banks might be a good idea. I use to have a massive piggy bank to hold my money when i was a kid as i didn't trust them.

I'll probably fall back to old ways but not quite yet.
