Bank of England Base Rate - 4 September 2008

£60 won't make much diffrence to most people, hardly likely to spark a spending jag in my opinion

All depends - I've been cutting back so much over the last year or so that I'll definitely be spending it on something I wouldn't normally buy. 22 million people will receive this £60 so I think it could have an impact if £1.3billion is injected into the economy.
