This is the same info in the Bank of America thread that was also on Avalon and the web. I withdrew a sum of money yesterday to use for a trip later in the month and asked at my local bank (not BofA) if there was any limit of the amount I could withdraw and the teller said as long as it was in my account, I could withdraw it. I was in the bank twice this week and each time there were a lot more tellers than customers.
Not to say there won't be a bank holiday, and I do think it is always wise to be prepared, but if we encourage a bank run, then I'm guessing there definitely WILL be a bank holiday
I find it interesting that the information has shown up now (at least in my arena) via 2 conservative outlets. Hal whats-his-name and Drudge. although George Green has discussed something similar, but over a 3 day weekend - which could be the weekend of October 13. And Bill Ryan has just posted something on the subject, also.
