Blimey, I did miss that! Thanks for the explanation! (Long time no speak, BTW!)
It also looks like ML is considering diversifying (or, for any cynical bods among us, selling out)...

I like your idea about the discount, seeing as we're helping them to sell the papers :beer:

How about The Times make those of us who are interested a discounted prepaid subscription offer of its Monday-Sunday paper editions @1.00 a week like it used to do when it was battling hard against The Telegraph. :think:I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Savings & Investments, Small Biz MoneySaving and House Buying, Renting & Selling boards.

Thanks, and the same to you! I'm OK, trying to find a home for my Icesave money as all the good rates seem to be with Halifax but I need to spread it about a bit.

We have had a boe rate cut of 1.5 %. If the LIBOR does come down only 1% which cut will the banks choose to make? Like most people I expect savings rates to be cut by 1.5%(or more) while mortgage rates will be reduced by 1.5% or less. This is what gets the majority riled so much.bristolleedsfan wrote: »Savers are more likely to be upset about the Libor rate falling 1% being as most of our high paying savings accounts have been due to the high LIBOR rate for the last 12 months or so rather than base rate movements.
