Watching the wonderful mini series ' Mr Bates v The Post office', but it made me think . Could a situation like this arise with the online banking we're all being forced into . Anyone else worrying that something like this could happen , by mistake , or worse still by design .

Anyone else who can't understand how the new concept of money disapearing from your bank account if you don't spend it by a certain date . Is this pie in the sky, scaremongering or conspiricy whispers . What happened to rewarding savers ,and people saving for old age .

It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but supported by true stories of people appearing to lose the money in their bank accounts and being shown they had a Nil balance.
