    TBH, there is nothing new in that article - whose to say UK is safer than Ireland or The Netherlands, or any other foreign country
  • Yes agree nothing new but it may help potential savers who do not read the various articles out there in truth before I placed my saving with Anglo Irish I assume because of the FCSC cover I would be ok even though an overseas bank - had that cover not been there I would not have invested. However through all of this I now find I am more conversant with all new reports and the FSA website. Thick as I may appear to be I did not know all this information was available prior to saving.
