What i've banked this year, not really been spending that hard but should do the £250k easy maybe £300k this year so long as I don't have a big losing run which can often start as the clocks change.

Why have that in a current account? I had 8k wiped outta my current account by Id fraud. Somebody could have a field day with that. Or somebody left there slip in the machine and you were next on!

Why would you have a £3k overdraft?

Kudos where it's due I reckon that's more than nigh on all of the rest of us have in savings!

Not bad. How come you had to draw out £250?

Like I said George

All that saving in one year is like 1000 a day, perhaps for him a paltry 600 a month isn't worth the effort ;-)

I have no issue with holding large amounts with the big banks in this country, if they go bust, then the credit just would be moved to another bank or held by the government promises, you would not lose it.

Should the 85k limit be enforced if there was no bailout or takeover, then the money would just be in a new currency that woulds not hold the same value(or nominally the same, but with hyper inflation), further more you would be waiting some time to get it back.

Bit like getting an IM, you know you have £70, but the value could really be upto £210, however its a flat you get your £70(which you where gtd), but when you collect the hopper jams, you get paid a month later, but when you return to the pub a pint is £25.

Having just read through this i must admit i agree with redlinesman! If you have not made/banked money then why do this shit? Would not shock me to know theres MANY 7 figure lads out there!
