I pay cash into my Co-op account through the post-office. They used to want a paying in slip but now it's just done on one's bank card.

Is your account business or personal Biff? I think they said they couldn't do it on a personal one. I did it on a paying in slip, and that's what was rejected. The other cashier said that it wasn't possible, but it would change in January. Maybe it's Welsh Post Offices that can't do it.

Personal. Hand over the cash, stick your card in the reader, no need for a PIN, and they print out a receipt for you. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeasy.

I spent ages queuing to achieve nothing! Maybe I'll wander down the road to the village Post Office tomorrow, rather than the one in town that I tried today, and try again.

Hmmm...better take the money out on the 6th.

€13 billion has left Anglo Irish Bank this year so far in withdrawn money. See what happens! This is a bank with no high street presence and a whacking great shedload of taxpayer money supporting it, so could be regarded as a little different in EC's plan.

Except I bet all the *ankers have bought gold....... wouldn't want to be in the same club.
The superrich billionaires are buying gold, your typical banker is still stuck in the world of paper money... the great thing about gold is the lack of counter-party risk, you don't need to pay a bank to buy gold and keep it.

Its totally seperate from a totally f***ed banking system and the bankers who are paid to maintain a bankrupt system. You can see why bankers hate gold.

USA post 30's. US forced citizens to hand over gold for mandatory small payments and put it in fort knox. No one knows if it's still there or if they smuggled it out to Europe and sold it back to the US government at much higher rates.

Gold is an integral part of the banks ethos. Its actually where they came from.

It could happen here. Anyone with gold could be asked to hand it into the government for say $500 per oz to shore up our ailing currency.... if you have gold you better make sure there is no paper trail to it.

Only the little people actually handed their gold to the government, the rich took it to switzerland or canada in America.

Are you not a little person then Beria?

My gold is in switzerland... so it can't be stolen by any future government.

Just the Swiss then...

Beria, how will you sell your gold if there is a crash and electronic or phone selling isn't possible. Bit risky having the shiny stuff so far away surely???

Anyway I thought it was leprecauns, not trolls, that kept gold.
