Hmm, well I'm glad I don't have a fixed rate mortgage that's about to move into a variable rate. All I can say is, those poor bsatards who've up until now, never had to deal with interest rate hikes.
0.5% now. 0.75% or even 1.0% just after Xmas and back down to nothing when our fragile economy crashes. This is about having as much back up as possible before we crash. The problem is, reaching for that back up may be the thing that causes the crash. All I can say is, I'm glad its happening on the Tory watch.

just as we are going to spend our savings.
Will be interesting to see if our bank hikes the rate back up on the old ISA. |

The value of the pound has substantially dropped and the consequence of that is high inflation. You're right though, against all the odds the economy did start to lift in this last quarter but it was only by 0.1%, so at this stage, it seems risky to put up the interest rate.

You should look into Bitcoin. Its a hefty investment initially but its something I will certainly be buying when I have some spare funds.
