I wonder how safe your money is in Santander these days?


If you are worried, move your money to the Hong Kong and Shanghai
Banking Corporation, who were, until the banking crisis revealed HSBC as
one of the few high street banks with more assets than liabilities,
often criticised as being overly cautious in their investments.


Yup. I started with Williams & Glynns, who were taken over by RBS. When,
after 40-odd years, I heard they were going to be taken over by
Santander I switched to HSBC. It wasn't too hard and they gave me £75.

Good move. Santander don't have a good reputation.

Can't find any better interest rates, so I stay with the devil I know.
Yes, I was with Williams & Glyn. No yellow line outside can you believe!
Good old days
