You never know. Serious story this week. DSB, a bank in NL, was in a bit of trouble and

someone Twittered a rumour about this last week. It ended up Twittering all over the place and caused a run on the bank last week, culminating this weekend with loads of people taking out their savings. The result ? Bankrupt bank and several million pounds worth of savings potentially lost. At the moment, they cannot even access any savings account and can only access their current accounts by using cash machines from other banks
