Bradford & Bingley Rate Cut Email

I've just received an email from Bradford & Bingley about their rate changes due to today BoE interest rate cut.

In the the email it says
Dear LeeUK,

On Wednesday 8th October 2008 the Bank of England announced a decrease in its Base Rate by 0.50% to 4.50%

What about today's cut? :confused:

    Got my email today showing the October 0.5% cut ( Internet Saver 3 from 6.51% to 6.01%) I bet they're much quicker to reduce their rates after todays 1.5% cut. I just hope they don't have the audacity to start the inevitable correspondence with "Seasonal greetings to all our savers" :rolleyes:

  • Ironic it should arrive on this day of all days:(, 4 days later than when it took effect. Or bad practice?

    You'd think they'd show a bit of sensitivity at least!!

    It's a bank they don't give a damn about anyone but their profit. I was recently in a bank ( who have been bailed out) and overheard a girl moaning that despite hitting her target for the month so only took home a 2k BONUS for the month. I nearly got up and smacked her one.
