Yes am getting ready for it now, hence all the questions i keep asking, as soon as northernrock give me the cash should be in the next week or so (if people stop taking all the cash out lol), 99% sure i got the van I want and am going for a 2 man set-up to start, then when i get used to it will buy another set-up for 1 man  ;) and see what happens after that.

then you better hurry up and get your cash out, if they go bust, you only get 33% of your money back,
from every thousand pounds you put in,   even if its 10 grand, you still get the same 33% no joke

My dad was explaing to me, he saw a financial advisor and they said northern rock are in the green, meaning that even if every single customer they have wanted their money back they would be able to give it and still have huge amounts of resources. So you might be seeing a huge company go bust all because of panic and rumour. What will make them go bust is people panicking thinking they will go bust and taking their money out, its like a catch 22. But now its a domino effect and nobody wants to be the one who decided to keep their savings in the bank, so you might as well take it out along with everybody else......dont get left out or you never know!

dunno where you get your info joe but its incorrect....

If you're a saver, a proportion of your money is protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme in the event that your bank or building society becomes insolvent.

Under the scheme, the first £2,000 in a savings account is guaranteed. It also guarantees the return of 90 per cent of the next £33,000. So no matter what they have over that figure, the saver only has protection worth a total of £31,700.

I am in no hurry to get the cash out, it is people that do not have a clue are wasting there time going to take out there money and waiting hours to do so, Northern Rock, are a very large company, they are just short of cash money hence why they asked for a loan, if you think the amount of money they take in and assets they have they cant go bust, the Bank of England would not give them a loan if they thought they would go bust would they?
It seems people like to blow things well out of proportion without finding out the facts first.

I will laugh I disagree off if they give all the loyal customers they have a cash bonus for keeping there money in there bank accounts, that will teach people to get the facts before panicking  ;D

because after loosing their customers they wouldnt have any customer base to carry on with, I mean the people who get their money out are hardly going to use them again!! the company will no longer have a significant amount of customers. But if everybody was given the right facts and just didnt panick all would be ok and northern rock would be fine. As things are going they are going to lose loads of customers, while they might not run out of money, they will no longer be able to carry on under the name northern rock because it will be a dead company, Luke

northern rock has many fingers in many pies, the bank is not there main earner, think of all the mortgages they have in their name, this could help them in the long run, weeding out the customers that are not to good lol just like us window cleaners we do the same thing  ;D

As you have good established rounds, going wfp will be a really good move for you. What system are you going for?
