Here we have a grassroots movement going to encourage people to move their money out of the banks that caused the economic mess and into banks that didn't. The people who have already done so (and I am one) try to let others know how to do it and where to go, and encourage them if they are afraid - you won't believe how scared people are here! I have no idea how you could do the same in the UK, but I look forward to reading how here.

Thanks for the reply.I think i will need to go back to what my gran used to say" I don't trust banks thats why i keep my money under my mattress."It must be a lot safer than the banks these day's.Ha Ha
