Stampede on Northern Rock money (Run on Brit Banks)
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=282603

U.K’s Northern Rock bank has apologised to customers worried about its emergency loan from the Bank of England.

Thousands of panicked customers queued for hours to withdraw money after the bank closed its doors before the weekend.

Northern Rock says it does not have enough money for all of those wishing to withdraw their savings but has assured customers that reports claiming branches had run out of cash were false.

Huge queues continued to form on Saturday after billions of pounds had been taken out on Friday.
