I've had a Nationwide current account for years but their savings rates aren't good so stuff gets moved around a bit for savings. The savings one I opened with them is iirc 6.5% for a year and a maximum saving each month of £200. I just treat that as a bill and put it on standing order. I don't save extra to any degree I just move savings money around to make sure I don't use credit anywhere. I've made more from their bonus than I'll make on interest.

Moving current account is supposed to be automatically handled by the bank now but I don't really trust that so haven't moved it. You can pick up £100 or so every year by switching but the possibility of a cock up puts me off.

A lovely day here today, 23 °C, windows open and enjoyable.
My dryer is telling me it's finished, so I'd better fold and put away.

Re Tommy Robinson, does a Leopard really change its spots?

I think not.

And I'm sorry, but I think Farage is a better-educated, slightly more charismatic,
better-spoken, Tommy Robinson.

I think the Greens may come to regret their choice of leader.
