Probably just everyone logging on and all the banks that have taken deposists etc. updating. Don't panic.
Also tara747 no need to worry even if they had gone bust as long as you have less that £50K, invested, if you do it might be prudent to share it about - although have been slatted on the banking boards before for suggesting this. However I feel it is better not to guess what a governent might do if you had more than £50K in an institution that went bust and follow the guarantees, personally!
