Mega doomed - it could be you

I've got £35K with Capital One savings (US bank, FSA protected here). Do you think it might be prudent to fetch the money out and put it somewhere else?
I've got so many bank accounts at £35K it's getting silly and I'm running out of FSA protected banks.Comment

Thing is no one has ever claimed the £35K when a bank goes bust, so how likely is it to actually work in practice?
More likely it will take 10 yrs to get your money and it will be a postcode lottery.
I'd rather not risk it if I can.
And Northern Rock, how far do you trust the government to protect the savers beyond the £35K limit?Comment

The £35k thing: agreed, no way will everyone be paid if too many claim. Apart from ministers, naturally.Comment
