The interest I’m getting paid on my savings account (Yes I agree that I’m f**ing lucky to have some savings):

14 Oct 2008 £38.32
14 Nov 2008 £37.20
14 Dec 2008 £25.15
14 Jan 2009 £17.86
14 Feb 2009 £13.04
14 Mar 2009 £9.82
14 Apr 2009 £10.55
14 May 2009 £10.32

Not quite sure what happened in April. Did the Bank of England forget to cut the base rate or something?

The good news is that the government is getting £2 instead of £8 each month. Which means they have less money to give back to banks to pay me less interest. Hang on, surely this can’t be the way out of the crisis?
