Was on holiday in Spain 20 odd years ago and had a phone call from my father in law - 'Nick there won't be any petrol, the country has run out and I just queued for an hour to fill my car up' - (he never let his car go under 3/4 full and did just 5 miles a week to Tesco and back) - 'do you want me to get your keys and fill your van and cars up?'
I told him no and not to believe what it says in the Daily Mail, he told me I'm being stupid and it'll be my fault when I come home and I've got no petrol to go to work and he's not letting me use his car and petrol.

I came home three days later and there was no shortage, no queues and no blockades, no-one ran out, the stations were full and it was all a scare story. People are stupid.

If they queued to get it out they had it there and then in cash to do as they please

A claim through any government compo scheme would of taken months if not longer with 100's of hoops to jump through and possible awkward questions to answer over the origin of the money so really I don't blame them for queuing !

If the paper had not run the story then they would not have queued, there would not have been a run on the bank and no-one would have been any the wiser. These situations happen with every bank or building society and if all savers walked into Lloyds tomorrow and demanded their money the bank would not have enough money to pay out, until a couple of years ago when the rules were changed most banks were technically insolvent.

Makes no difference, if a bank has my money they shouldn't be gambling with it.........

I've got news for you, they are - now, all banks, that is how they make money by lending to others and by the time they've written off bad debts, i.e. negative equity mortgages, bankruptcy, IVAs etc. they never have enough money to pay back everyone they owe money to.
Why do you think the government scheme exists? to reassure savers to keep their money in the bank.

Incidentally look in your pocket and pick any bank note, now if everyone who had one of these wandered down to Threadneedle Street and demanded their £5, £10, £20, £50 worth of gold for each note the Bank Of England would not have enough gold to pay them out, not only banks Pads.

I'm well aware of that, under new regulations the banks must hold as little as 12% reserves, if a number of large banks went insolvent do you really believe the UK government is in a position to bail out 100's of billions to uk and European investors? Not a chance.

Makes your statement even more silly if you are aware of the situation, has always been the way though and a couple of years ago Co-op bank were in a worse state than Northern Rock but it was handled differently and not reported the same hence no run on the bank. Like I said people are idiots.
