Given that europe is finally starting to look slightly unhealthy, can anyone either tell me or point me towards a website that explains what happens when a bank goes bankrupt? Might sound paranoid, but Im in the process of selling a house, so will soon have a fair amount of cash floating about..... Cheers all    Report

Let me know what you find out though    Report
