    Well for me, SP, having a truckload of (I presume) Sterling in a UK bank would be a BIG worry for me, in light of recent developments.

    Some say 'Cash is King!', others say 'Sterling is Monopoly Money'.

    q.v. commodities, esp Gold and other metals.

    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

      Even if houses fell by 50% - would there really be a run on the banks?

                I'd sooner have money in a UK bank than this poor sod who kept his notes in an Indian bank

                  Don't own a house but then I neither have a mortgage or pay any rent. I do however have a truck load of cash in the bank.

                  A fall for me would be a good thing

                  Who let this riff-raff in? I thought this was a gated complex for the property-owning classes past or present.
