ah cool pete probably the best way a quick sale like that!!!this is all because of house prices going way to high for 1st time buyers like me!so you have to borrow more then you can afford cant pay it back with the ever increasing raise in the cost of living etc!!!!!this has been building up for years!!!i reckon after christmas the shit is going to hit the fan big time!!!

Because that's what ill-advised people do. Shame they don't realise that by doing so they're part of the problem.

Doug, as long as you have less than £30k, even if the bank goes pop you will still get your money. If you have more than that spread it across different banks (not accounts) and your money will still be safe.
