I always thought it was
"If you owe the bank £5000 it's your problem. If you owe the bank £5,000,000 it's the banks problem".
I live and work in an economy that isn't driven by credit. My mortgate and most of my savings are with the Cantonal bank. So, though I've some savings with UBS. and no economy is an island, entire of itself, I'm sleeping fairly easily.

Most of my money is on "red" in various casino´s (stock exchanges). The thing about shares is that as long as all the companies don´t go bankrupt at the same time you´re still in the game. Thankfully I was so busy buying mining and oil stocks over the last couple of years I haven´t had any left to put into financial stocks; I would steer clear of them. My investment philosophy is he who dares wins.

Cater Allen guarantee
So how strong is Abbey National?
Many of you have been asking us for more details regarding the Cater Allen deposit guarantee. Ever responsive to your requests, we would like to clarify for you the main features which will answer your questions.
The Cater Allen Deposit Guarantee
* All deposits held by Cater Allen Private Banking are 100% guaranteed by Abbey National plc.
* This guarantee covers all deposits with Cater Allen including Personal and Non-Personal Banking and Savings Accounts, as well as Term Deposit Accounts.
* Cater Allen and Abbey are both part of Grupo Santander, one of the largest banks in the World. Both Abbey and Banco Santander have stable credit ratings of AA and above.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) / Depositor Protection Scheme
* Abbey National plc and Cater Allen are separately authorised and registered with the FSA as having permission to carry out banking activities. Therefore a customer would be able to claim separate compensation, under the FSCS, from both Abbey and Cater Allen in relation to the total amounts deposited in accounts with each bank. Currently, the scheme protects £35,000 per person.

Mind you, I'm with Nationwide who are (a) not a PLC and hence can't be shorted/sold to death and (b) have a very conservative loans/savings ratio of something like 0.7 (HBOS is 1.7)

For reasons of pure FUD (and a healthy dose of idleness) all I've done with my saving is to put them into savings accounts. No account in more than one institution and no more than £35K in one account (easier said than done if your savings are reasonable).
I'm sleeping better than many colleagues at the moment...
