Worst scenario...UK out of EU, Scotland quits UK, EU dominoes and collapses.

Would euro (French bank) accounts be wiped out/lost, or just re-calculated into French Francs?

Total loss, or some loss?

You do like these crystal ball questions, don't you

You do like responding to questions without actually responding, don't you?

And stop following me around. People will begin to talk...

That's all 'ifs', 'buts' and 'maybes' The only answer anyone can give is..
Wait and see.. everything else is pure speculation by people who do not know the answer and are just guessing, and those guesses are tainted with their own hopes, brainwashing by the media, brainwashing by the politicians and other scenarios. There are threads about this all over the site, and the only commonality in the answers is that everyone is guessing.
Start worrying, or not, on the 24th June.

Also, despite your thinking you're so jolly clever, you'd have to be a total Rsole to NOT weigh the consequences of life-changing near-future world events and the impact they might have on your financial security.

But since your nest egg is presumably safely secured under your Silentnight mattress, it probably doesn't bother you, right? Strewth...get a grip, mate....!

Err, that's not the worst scenario for me.

It would actually help people if you quoted the post you were reffering to when you replied, might mean you would get better replies, but with your attitude perhaps not.

But I don't have any financial security, never did and never want to - it's why I'm so liberated and can afford to be amused at all the hot air that people waste their lives generating
Chill, man

Ha ha, fair point...

OK, but it's easy to take the high ground scoffing at issues that bring out other people's 'hot air', until we get around to the issues that set off your hot air. But as you say, you probably just rise above it all, so I can only lust after the secret of how you do this.

Or you could let me know if and after a euro collapse...

JWL

I still don't like your attidue...

I think all French banks should be closed as soon as the UK vote is known, and then have them all razed to the ground with the loss of everyone's money.
OK that's a stupid answer but it is to a rather stupid question, so you think everyone with money in a French bank would just lose it. If, or when, the Euro folds everyone's money in France would revert to the Franc, in Germany the Mark etc. no-one will lose money, well apart from those with their Euros under the mattress. Maybe you think the money in FRENCH banks should be converted to the Yen?

Shan't, not unless you get a bit more cuddly
