I didn't think this kind of thing could happen anymore. Reminds me of the scene from Mary Poppins. Be interesting to see how this effects the markets today.

Does Britain have protection like we do with FDIC?

Some people don't realize that FDIC only covers up to $100,000, and not mutual funds. Some money market accounts are not covered. So spread your money around and ensure that you are covered. Remember the S&L debacle of the late 80s? People lost their life savings, IRAs because they didn't check for that.

It made me think of the Depression and I'm hearing that it is mostly older people withdrawing their money ... though if I was driving by my bank and saw such a large line of people in front of it, I think I would be tempted to go withdraw myself!
