    The fact that there are shortages in power supply is also deeply worrying, since Britain seems to have too little power of its own and is at the mercy of not very friendly regimes for its supply.

    What absolute paranoid tosh!:mad:
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    For all the people worried about loosing all their money over the 35K protection limit, can anyone cite anyone loosing any deposits at any UK bank with accounts for personal savers (precluding Barings et al, very different kettle of fish), in the past 80-100 years? I rest my case ;)

    I remember the Grays Building society crashed back in late 70s but I cant remember if people got their money back or not. :confused: Maybe someone here knows. I was only lickle then u see :D

    Grays were "absorbed" by another - in 1978, I think.
