I unfortunately will have to pay more in the coming years. So, forgive me for feeling you have nothing to be furious about but I do

So if Santander go under & I lose £35000 then I have nothing to be furious over ? :rolleyes: :mad:

Get real mate :rotfl:

I think you need to get real if you think Santander is going to go under.

They are available, where you would expect them to be, on the Grupo Santander website.

I can't , my savings are in 12 month fixed bonds !!

I think you mean a fixed term deposit as apposed to a bond, for some reason banks tend to call them bonds. Anyway. I amm sure that you can close that deposit, but there will be a penalty clause usually 90 day loss of interest. I'd think long and hard before you close, but at the end of the day its your dosh, and your choice.

Unable to close regardless , B&B say it can't be done . Other bonds I have elsewhere can be closed with 90 days loss of interest !

B&B were penniless :

Thanks so a quick glance they look similar to hsbc, a nice positive ratio of deposits to loans and a gigantic company though they made less money then barclays both last year and this.
