It's a bit grim for the people who can't draw their money out but I really don't see why the rest of us should bail them out and that's what it amounts to because it will be taxpayers' money. That's what people seem to forget when they expect 'the government' to do anything.

If course the problem is that banking abroad has never been easier with online banking now and some of those interest rates offered have sounded very tempting. People may not have realised they were taking a risk. We have all been encouraged to save and invest for our old age and people will have been looking to get the best return they could for their money. There's a lot to be said for hiding it under the mattress these days!
