It's a good job Gordon Bwown is not the prime minister then because he would make a worse job than the current PM.

People are moving their money now. I was moving money last week, anything over 35k from banks and they are packed, everyone doing the same. I'll tell you how mad it is, one place for example, Abbey National, I went in to open an account on Friday and I have had to make an apointment for next wednesday, which was the soonest they could fit me in. Thats them fully booked for nearly two weeks.

It hasn't been called "Abbey National" since about 1923, grandad.

It's a Spanish-owned bank - they're safer because they didn't fall for the Thatcher/Reagan crap. :P
