Christmas. Knees up round the piano or hide for the duration

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Rich are you sure on that one?
Some banks and building societies are still going under even now!
And in some cases the cost of running a bank account with the none
exsistant interest rates for savings you can get less out than you put
in!

Do remember that 85k of your deposits are government insured so banks are safe. Christmas clubs however are definitely not. If you have 85k to spend on Christmas then I don't think you are the type of person that would be in a Christmas club anyway.
