My nervousness has increased this morning on hearing that insurers are factoring in a one-in-twenty chance of the UK defaulting and that ex-cabinet minister, Peter Hain, is calling for an emergency plan for the provision of water, power and trains in case the companies providing them fail!

Almost as great as that jazz title, "The Big Noise From Winnetka"!

My wife and I have four pensions - all from government sources, as we were both employed in education. We no longer have a mortgage and our savings are divided equally between government National Savings and a building society which has remained mutual, i.e. never floated on the stock exchange and retaining a communal aspect. But I'm still worried!

Thanks for letting me know about that one, aloc!

Already been listening to it, aloc. Missed part of Tuesday's live broadcast of Bebop Spoken Here.

Looks good, aloc! I also have Lenny on vinyl: a Fantasy twofer called The Real Lenny Bruce.

Great news, Bill! I'll certainly be making use of that!
