Banks... Banks... Who trusts banks?

25 years ago I remember a friend tell me how concerned he was that his grandmother carried her whole life savings of $30,000 Australian dollars in her handbag. She always told him she never trusted banks and he honestly thought she was a sausage short of a bbq! She was in her seventies, so at the time of the 'Wall Street Crash', she would have been in her twenties. It bothered me then because I couldn't understand why someone would take such risk especially of being that age. To recall this in my memory now explains one thing - I listened to a generational crisis still active (well for this eldery lady) and have finaly brought closure on her action!! Things are falling into place now... has anyone any similar stories?
