    You need a good instant access branch account.

    Skipton are good if there is a local branch, Yorkshire Building Society, Norwich and Peterborough, plus quite a few others - then there are the main group: LTSB/C+G, HSBC, Abbey (wouldn't touch with a bargepole), A+L, NR (if they can be branch operated), NS&I via the Post Office etc.

    You'll get the best rates on-line though, top accounts listed at Moneyfacts.
