I'm interested in this too. Just phoned Barclays -- the guy reluctantly admitted that you don't actually need to switch to bag the cash, just 'open' a current account and pay in £1000 per month for the first two months. If you've £1000 in another account and can get yourself organised, there's nothing to stop you setting up a crafty two-way two-month standing order system to and from the new account, allowing a gap of around 5-7 days between the two, then close the account once the transactions have completed. I'll have to check the T&Cs though...

Quite enjoying this loophole-spotting malarkey

But, oh my, you'd have to have an account with Barclays...

I'd have to have a lie down even at the thought.
