Re: Fiscal Year in the UK.

I've received the following in response to my query as to when FY2000 will begin in the UK.

>>The UK Government (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) does run a budget/tax year, from April 6 to April 5. Hope this answers your question.<<

Can't help but wonder if the Y2K problems will begin long before Dec. 31, 1999.

The most troubling insight here has to do with the banks. When we asked our respondents how much money they'd withdraw from the banks, 20 percent said they'd take out all their dough. And as we point out in an accompanying piece on the banking issue, as few as 5 percent of a bank's depositors have to withdraw their money to cause a collapse.
